I do not like that miniraise. Do you raise/call/fold here?
If you call, what's your line on the flop?

If I call I only play for set value, I really don't see a reraise like that with anything that we beat on a non J flop. I would probably fold this for those reasons and also because UTG might four bet...

Raise and a re-raise, really seems unneccesay to get involved here. I agree that if you don't flop a set then you are probably in real trouble, it's early days, move on.

Re-raise pot? Ewwww. If you re-raise you should push all-in. But I don't like doing that here, I'd fold. QQ+ I'd shove.
