What's Your Play UTG?

What's your play UTG given the following situation:

30/60 level on FTP $100+9 normal SNG, blinds will go up to 40/80 next hand. You have 750 chips. Player to immediately left is a LAG others all loose passive. Although most players probably aren't overly cognizant of your image, it's gotta be tight. What do you do with the following hands here?

1. AQ

2. 99-TT

3. QQ-JJ

Thanks guys,

assuming full table
AQ raise to 200 and call push
99-TT same
QQ sometimes limp JJ mostly raise to 200 and call push
you have to gamble soon enough, these look good enough to me

I would try to get all my chips with one caller. As the table seems loose and you have a loose image as well I would shove all 3 spots as hope/should get a caller to double me up.

You have t750 chips. Raising to t200 leaves you with t550 if you gotta take a flop, being UTG you will also likely be OOP. What to do if flop is J92 or KT3 or whatever. c-bet is now half your stack and you may well be check/folding the best hand.

When a PF raise and a c-bet commits you to the hand, just push PF.

Oh and WTF, you'd raise 99-TT and QQ but sometimes limp JJ?

Depends on how many players.

Full table I'm going to standard raise most of the time.

Depending on how passive the passives are and how aggro the LAG is, I might limp 99,TT, but I have to think it's pretty likely to not be raised. I've never played on $109 on FT, but I would assume a limp is pretty likely to be raised and wouldn't really be likely to limp.

If the table is short-handed, I might be open pushing or raising and calling a push depending on stacks and players.
