mmmm interesting comments from Hat and King - if i raise flop i'm overrepping my hand but any face card on turn could kill my action.
At the time I have to admit I was playing careful because I'm genuinely worried that utg opener has AA or KK. My thinking was flat pre flop and see what develops, flat the flop and see if he bets the turn. If he doesn't bet the turn then he doesn't have AA or KK, so lets take a little stroll down to value town....
