Villian was playing 19/10 after 66 hands. What line should I be taking here?

Just flatting seems fine. Folding seems very weak and raise/calling seems very bad.
why would raise/call be a bad play? I have a hard time calling on the preflop if I am holding AQs after the UTG. I also see a couple of big stacks ahead in playing in position that would call and be in position. That would make me put more chips into the pot in the remaining chips. It is calling multi way pot. Am I wrong in my thinking?

I would flat here and try to get to the flop. A 3-bet could run you into a tough decision if you are 4-bet by someone after you. Plus by flatting someone else may 3-bet and force the UTG out, but they may have more favorable stats for you to exploit.

i tend to flat here almost 100% of the time. raising puts us to tough decisions if we face a 4bet, and folding just seems meh.
I agree with above posters that I flat here, I don't like a 3bet as it may build a pot out of position vs anyone who may flat or raise behind and folding here is too nitty.

Because if UTG shoves we can't profitably call – we're probably looking at JJ as the bottom of his range so our equity is horrible. I'd rather chance taking a flop multiways than get it in way behind or fold to the shove and turn a hand that strong into a bluff.
Just one question regarding this: lets say the UTG raiser has 50 BB and you 30 BB and BB has 15BB.
The BB shoves ((very) agressive player)….What do you do?:
1) When the UTG raiser flats (can you still just call? Putting in 50 % of your stack while you might miss flop….ackward spot….no?) Additional Question: You guys in general think flatting in that spot is sign of weakness or strength?
2) UTG iso shoves?
Had this spot yesterday in tourney (the UTG raiser flatted…..was 10 $ tourney tough)……I end up folding but feeling bad about it……
