That is why UTG is such a bad position. When you are dealt strong cards UTG there really isnt much more you could do. If you limp, most likely someone is going to call/check and end up hitting a monster hand, which dominates your hand. Or if you raise UTG, you might scare everyone away from the hand.

So  imo, the best play would be to raise about 2.5-3xbb in early position with a strong hand. Three things could happen: First, either everyone folds and you collect the blinds(not a bad thing but also not a good thing) Second, you could get people with marginal hands, in good position, to call..maybe they hit mid pair on flop and you might be able to milk them for a lot of money(This might be the best thing that could happen, although sometimes it could be deadly, depending on flop, turn, and river.) Third, if your raise was low enough, you might get someone to reraise/go all in (depending on stack sizes) with cards like AX or maybe even a decent pocket pair, in which case you have them dominated preflop and have the best odds of winning the hand( Absolutely the best thing that could happen)
