BB 22/17 3bet 0% - 18 hands
UTG 27/2 3bet 0% - 55 hands

UTG seems quite passive so could I have just called post flop or maybe raised more/less?

Pacific, $1.80 Buy-in (100/200 blinds) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 6 Players

Hero (MP): 7,060 (35.3 bb)
CO: 1,589 (7.9 bb)
BTN: 9,627 (48.1 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP with 4 4
UTG calls 200, Hero calls 200, CO calls 200, BTN folds, SB completes, BB checks

Flop: (1,000) 2 4 6 (5 players)
SB folds, BB checks, UTG bets 750, Hero raises to 1,900, 3 folds

Results:

It clearly looks you just hit the set, no need to raise since ur IP and UTG is not likely to hold some kind of draw.

You must raise ,for protect , minimum 2400 , because limped pot , villain big stack , a lot of combinations paid you , FD , Gs , open end

for example Ah3h,7h8h,75s, maybe 6x>>> A6,K6 , 1 overcards + GS >>> Q5s , K5s , overpairs 77-88

I’m more a fan of raising pre-flop with 44 to isolate the UTG player. As played you playing 5 way and than it’s still possible 1 of the limpers has a draw and you don’t want to give them a cheap turn card. So I would play the flop the same way what you did.

if he looks passive and he bets I am 100% of time raising. Calling might be an option only when villain is aggro, then we can just close eyes and make calldown

I decided not to raise pre flop, as I was just going to get in cheap to see a flop then fold if I missed. This was a tournement on 888 early on and everyone was limping pre so I didnt think I was going to get many folds with a pre flop raise
