UTG+1 in the hand was pretty laggy. MP2 was a pretty passive calling station. Tell me what you think of my turn and river play. I'll post my reasonings and the results later.

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif, Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
UTG folds, <font color="CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, UTG+2 calls, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, CO folds, Button calls, SB folds, BB folds, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls, MP2 calls.

Flop: (16.50 SB) 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 6/images/graemlins/club.gif, 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(5 players)</font>
UTG+1 checks, UTG+2 checks, MP2 checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, Button calls, <font color="CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, UTG+2 folds, MP2 calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, Button folds, UTG+1 calls, MP2 calls.

Turn: (13.25 BB) A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
UTG+1 checks, MP2 checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG+1 folds, MP2 calls.

River: (15.25 BB) A/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
MP2 checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP2 calls.

Final Pot: 17.25 BB

Yeah, keep betting. To not bet the turn is incredibly weak, and you obviously can't be to worried about the second ace as it does nothing to change the value of your hand.

Keep betting, you have no reason to believe anyone has an A.

If I had KK, would that change the scenario since no overs can come? I'm guessing no, but just for clarification.

Although your turn bet is for hand protection as well as value, protecting from overcards is not really what you're trying to protect from on a board like this. So bet the turn with KK as well.

I figured both were standard, just wanted to make sure, thanks.

You must still bet the turn to make a smaller pair pay for their draws to 2-pair. Since you did not get raised, I would have value bet the river also.

If a K had come on the river, I would have checked behind. (Not sure if that is correct though.)
