It depends on UTG stats/reads and also how other players play.
It's probably OK.

It depends a raise could also be justifiable to see if you will get re raised and then make your decision from there. It is still earlier enough where you don't want to put yourself in racing situations but you still need to chip up.

meh. Your hand / stack combination makes a difficult decision here.

I mean you're pushing 16BB to win 2.5 BB, it does not look that good.

If there was not UTG limper, I would make a standard raise to 250. The UTG limper makes it hard.

If you limp, one of btn / SB / BB will often shove (correctly). There might be some space for a t350 raise. Folding is ok too.

I think it's ok, raising to 350 is fine vs some opponents. This is the worst hand I would shove here though.

[ZanDa]

Probably at the bottom of your shoving range here. It's marginal but it's more fine than not.

I prefer to raise it up here (to 400) as a nice raise like that will get him to fold any crappy hands that he is not calling a shove with.

[bighomeytim]

I don't have stats/reads. My reads are based on stack size and position. If they have either a big stack or small stack, their more aggressive because they're either overconfident or desperate. If they have position they're more aggressive.

This is actually pretty standard for me.
