    I think it's too early yes. There's really no need to be pulling off bluffs like that early on in a sng (assuming this was one). I fold preflop, I'll give an UTG raise credit until I see something to suggest otherwise especially at level 1.

    The risk outweighs the reward here, if you win this pot you have like 1900 but if he shoves the turn you're folding and down to about 700. You can't win it this early but you can sure as hell lose it.
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

    Insta-fold. Until someone calls UTG, you don't know if he leads off with two overcards or a lower pair (IE 3 or 2). Until you know that and the size of his bets when he does, you're going to have to assume that he has A/9 or one of those.
