It's never easy to judge whether a limp is the nuts or weak. But here I'd fold because UTG is a little shallow and you hand won't play well against his calling range.

If i notice they call alot i assume they dont have the nuts.
I fold to a tight nit calling utg though.

Here they werent calling everything, but far from nitty.

Agree. It's closer with QTs.

If we give him a calling range of something like Ax, Axs, KT+,QJ+, 22+, then you have around 37% equity with QTo which seems wide and risky given your stack size pre ante. QTs at least gives you something like 41%.

Edit: but I don't really like it with QTs either. You can wait for a better spot.
