Default $5 TT Facing Limp reraise from UTG

Poker Stars
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t25/t50
8 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t1100
UTG+1: t3160
MP1: t1660
MP2: t1805
CO: t845
Button: t1180
Hero: t1210
BB: t2540

Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG calls t50 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t75)</font>, 5 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to t200</font>, BB folds, <font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to t350</font>, Hero calls t150 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t600)</font>.

Flop: 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (t750, 2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">UTG is all-in t750</font>, Hero ???</font>.

He's representing Aces here but I feel I can't fold on this flop,his shove could well mean AK or AQ,and he hasn't gotten out of line at all really.
My guess is that everyone will say easy call,but it might be closer than everyone thinks versus a tightish opponent.Or is open shoving a better play,though I feel I'm only getting called by a better hand if I do that.

In a $5 sng, I don't always think that villain's limp-raises are premiums. I see the play a lot with medium to lower pocket pairs. I would have just shoved pre personally. You have an overpair and can't really fold the flop.

I dont mind sticking it in pre and I dont mind flatting pre. I think I would mind folding an overpair in the low buyins though.
