Default FT 6500 gtd--- 99 with awkard stack sizes

Haven't seen much from villain except him calling off 1/4 of his stack PF with QJs after limping in UTG+1. He's also been making some really dumb extreme overbets like 1500 into 300 pots etc.

Full Tilt Poker, NL Hold'em Tournament, 80/160 Blinds, 9 Players
LegoPoker Hand History Converter

BTN: 2,840
SB: 2,792
BB: 350
UTG: 9,650
UTG+1: 8,898
UTG+2: 3,386
Hero (MP1): 3,715
MP2: 13,120
CO: 760

Pre-Flop: (240) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (MP1)
UTG folds, <font color="red">UTG+1 raises to 320</font>, UTG+2 folds, Hero calls 320, 5 folds

Flop: (880) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">UTG+1 bets 640</font>, <font color="red">Hero ???


How do we proceed from here? Any decent raise is pretty much committing me and calling seems incredibly terrible.

And you come up with this how?

Pay attention to the times when he raises and how much. I usually push to this, often getting shown AA or KK. The dumb minraise preflop is usually a sign, but his nice size 3/4 pot looks like he wants to build the pot now.

If you think he's got AJ, AQ, AK... shove, or call and evalute on the turn.

Get it in there on the flop, basically you are ahead of so many hands preflop it's not even funny and ONE of them may call you. I shove to look weak because 88/77 may make two of them. You really should be going broke on this flop.

A limp-caller/overbettor now minraises from EP and follows it with a 2/3ish flop bet...I lean towards a big pp. Sucks, but with your stack pre, I simply spend 2 blinds trying to spike and I am usually done- if this villain overbets again or leads weak I probably call/shove. I have no problem with shoving the flop, I just feel his bet size is a better hand.
