3-betting an UTG opener to "see where you're at" or "define your hand" (pretty much the same thing in essence) is retarded, especially when you have position. You bonks are so scared to play postflop in position it's absurd.
That being said, this villain does appear fairly loose aggressive, and I doubt has a really narrow UTG range unless his ATS is like 90% or something. So i like the 3-bet pre for value because his calling range could very well be wide also.
