Comments appreciated on all streets - I have provided my own thoughts - confirmation of/counterpoint to my thoughts would be great....
Ultimately, my question is: "Should I get away from this hand at any point?"
Reads (VPIP, PFR, AF):
SB is TA-A (11/7/12.2); pushes small edges too much post-flop, but I do respect him
UTG+1 is LA-P (55/15/0.66); his pocket aces turn to fantastic holdings like J3o and Q7o fairly often.
MP1 is LA-P (70/20/1.4); he is not so good.
MP2 is TA-N (15/7/1.9); seems like a good player that I see often at the tables
Hero is not playing so well this evening, making one dubious decision after another.

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, CO folds, Button folds, SB calls, BB folds, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls.
Thoughts: This seems standard. Nothing special here. Looking back, SB calling three should have concerned me a little bit more, but I was probably blinded by my ladies.
Flop: (16 SB) 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, Hero calls, SB calls.
Thoughts: Well, I've got an overpair, but there's some interest. Potential frush/straight draws make me think I should call here rather than raise, since I don't expect it to thin the field at all. If the turn is favorable, then I'll drop the hammer.
Turn: (10.50 BB) T/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises</font>, MP2 folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB caps</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, Hero calls.
Thoughts: Well, that's about as good a card I could've asked for, save another queen. MP1's raise catches me completely off-guard and I'm a bit lost. So, naturally, when I have no idea what to do, I raise. Good, bad, ugly? Then, SB just makes matters worse - guess he thinks raising is fun, too. Everything about the board and the play screams "SET!", but I can't let go for one bet, right? Or can I? Maybe I shouldn't have 3-bet???
River: (26.50 BB) A/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, UTG+1 checks, MP1 checks, Hero checks.
Thoughts: What game are we playing again? I have to drop to a bet here by anyone, yes?
Final Pot: 26.50 BB
