It's important to know whether or not this guy has a fold button or not, because if you are going to continue in this hand, it's almost surely as a bluff.

I generally dont try to push FR UTG raisers off their hands.

did you have a read that villain is calling a meaningful flop raise with AK/AQ or lower pairs than 88? if not then i dont think its worth a turn bet. i mean what hands are you pushing utg off, QQ+? imo they're calling their stacks off. at least from my experience playing sets and one time bluffing mid pair on 50nl. at worst you give a free card to a 9 out draw.

If this player raises preflop UTG with AK/AQ, c-bets a whiffed flop and calls your raise with overcards OOP, you need to include some kind of read that he's a huge donkey.
