I have played with the villain in this hand quite a bit; he multitables and generally nut camps. I have never seen him flat with a big pair. I've yet to play a big pot against him. My thinking was I could represent a big pair and put him to a tough decision with a small boat.

Is this type of play ever advisable at these stakes (even versus a tight player)?

UTG player open limps with a wide variety of trash.

Flame away.
