Default $114: Flop top pair out of bb in L4 with EP limper showing strength

Never seen villain before. Sharkscope says he's only played like 15 games, and he hasn't done anything out of the ordinary thus far (that I noticed). What's your play on the flop, do you like the lead? What're you doing facing this raise?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (6 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com

CO (t3970)
Button (t2330)
SB (t2885)
Hero (t1525)
UTG (t1535)
MP (t1255)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls t100, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, Hero checks.

Flop: (t250) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t150</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t500</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero?

With a thin stack and a marginal hand I suppose I fold here pretty much readless. Maybe he thought he was being tricky limping a big hand UTG with 15 BB's. I'd just hate for him to have AK here, but I don't really see how we call the raise here.

i'd fold. people limp 99 TT all the time ug with 15 bb's plus he could be trying to trap with a monster. i don't think he has two overs enough to screw around.

I like the lead but you have to fold to the raise. He's showing strength. Overpair, set...

This is almost never air/AK/bluff/or worse than your hand. He limped so it's likely TT,99,set is possible or maybe even a bigger pair trying to limp/rr.

You really want to go broke with a TP3K, and a low TP at that, out of the BB? This is 100 times easier fold than the QQ hand darin posted.

I think this is a really easy shove.
Really drawy board guy who was played 15 sngs (probably sucks)
Get it in for sure.
