Raising the flop rightaway? Waiting for the turn?
As played just push the river?

I'd push the river. If he's got an ace he's calling. If he's got anything else he's probably not calling a raise anyway.

I raise the turn to ~t300. You need to create a pot.
As played push river.

I like your line to keep both of them in the pot as an A is unlikely.

Now the only way to make chips is to find a naked A which will call almost everything.

I'd raise pretty big on the river(600 at least)

If neither of them has an ace, we're not getting anything more in the pot. How about just a call and letting UTG call as well? Thats another 120. He might even try making a move, which will be a bluff more often than not.
Thoughts?

lol, calling with the 2nd nuts to hope UTG donates 120 more? No thx. Raise this turn to like 300 to build the pot so you can make an even larger value bet on the river or even push. As played, raise to t420 on the river.
