He doesn't have 88, 99, TT, or KQ. There's no way this particular villain raises those hands UTG. What 1/2 game are you playing where people routinely raise those UTG? I would say his range for an UTG raise is probably AA, AK, KK, QQ, JJ and AQ. Obviously we can discount combos of AK, KK, QQ, and AQ which leaves AA and JJ.
Another relevant hand I neglected to mention. I raised in LP with A7c, flop came with two clubs, I bet, he called. Turn was a club completing a straight draw, I bet he called. River was another card making a 4 straight on the board, I bet, he called and didn't show.
In retrospect maybe I mischaracterized him as a LAG. He's probably LAV, loose average.
