I really dont know how to play cards like this from UTG at this blind level. Fold, limp or minraise?

raise preflop to 250.

as played is difficult.we have an overpair but i would go for pot control

Yeah, never limp at this blind level. Once BB minraises, I'm jamming. As played, you played it well. No point pot-controlling. His bet is weak, the board is drawy. A Ten is not that scary, so I'd carry on betting, like you did.

This. I like our sizing postflop also. But preflop is quite a big mistake (limping compared to raising).
