Fold PF. Yeah, it's only a regular raise, still not a fun spot to be OOP and the UTG yet to act.

I prefer just raising the flop initially. Given stack sizes, sure, this is fine.

Preflop is an easy fold, you don't know if UTG is going to raise over top of MP (minraises can be aces, or they can be J2s, they're weird like that). As played, I would probably pop the flop to $11 (putting them in) and pray!
