I don't really mind a raise, but I don't know if I like risking my whole stack on it. I might make it 2000-2200 and see what happens. If he pushes you can fold and still have 10BB or so.

However, the best option IMO is to just call and use your position - if he checks the turn, fire 1/2-2/3 and expect to take it down most of the time.

This is bad advice, if you raise on the flop push or fold. Committing half your stack to fold to a push is a bad idea.

This is all right, UTG is making a weak bet but may be underrepresenting AA, KK, QQ, AQ, or have TT/JJ and not fold to your push/bet. I prefer folding the flop.
