Default (109 6m) - Two hands

Early in a $109 6 max. Towards the end of level 1 I raise two hands in a row and showdown KJo and JJ. Then I fold the next two hands. Then I open-raise the following two and take it down preflop. I've never played with any of these players before so I highly doubt they had any read on me, but probably now thought I was overly aggro preflop. Now these two hands immediately follow.

UTG (t2410)
Hero (t2030)
Button (t3830)
SB (t1635)
BB (t2095)

Preflop: Hero is in CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG calls t60, <font color="red">Hero raises to t200</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>, <font color="red">UTG raises to t1455</font>, <font color="gray">Hero folds</font>

UTG seems way too loose. His vpip was over 70 but it had only been 20 hands or so. He is surely just an overall bad player though. Does anyone not like raising preflop here after having raised 4 out of the last 6 hands? If we get played back at how much should we be discrediting them?

After that last hand I felt raising preflop would be a mistake. I didn't feel like getting pushed around again. Plan for this turn? Seems like it should be easy to steal the pot here. Raise the flop instead?
