Fold pf. Look at your situation. You don't have position on anyone other than the blinds, you smash the flop and you still have to make a thread on 2+2 on what you should do.

I'd just jam it in to remind me that I shouldn't open with KJ in the UTG and on the chances you aren't up against a set of nines or QT.

Fold this preflop 100% of the time.

As played, strap into variance coaster and shove. Be happy if they both fold. Villains are more likely on worse hands or draws then better hands, but not by much. Your situations is far more likely to get worse then better and if you flat you will have no idea what to do on a lot of turn cards while pot size will just about commit you to pot.

Hero folds.

I can live with the limp (though I would fold pre). We hit 2P and old man nit raises. Turbomuck.

Shove.

Pre flop play is bad. By limping you are enticing yourself to call a raise with a hand that is usually dominated. Either raise or fold pre flop, limping UTG with a mediocre hand is never a winning play

Fold pf, oop KJo is too weak to play. As played fold flop to the tight guy, his range is mostly straights and sets.
