We're only starting $200 deep. Flatting UTG's $12 raise with AQs is borderline. I think 3B or fold would be better. I wouldn't give UTG's opening range too much respect at these stakes. AQs is good enough to 3B from the BTN.
Calling off a $45 3B from the BB is pretty bad. We'll have $155 behind, and the pot will be $100. He should just jam or fold at that point.
He flopped TP2K, with about 1.5 SPR. He's never folding, so he should just jam flop. By not jamming flop, he sets up a situation on the turn where neither opponent can fold, getting 4:1 to call off a jam. He's basically allowing his opponent to realize all his equity.
