AA vs QQ

[dfscott]

Main question is the turn play, but comments welcome on all streets.

All players are slightly loose and rather passive.

This got lost in the barrage of post-Friday-night-session posts. Is this standard (don't tell me I've finally figured out how to play these right)?

I raise the turn. If MP3 3-bets, then I know I'm drawing to 2 outs and I can fold. This costs me the same 2BB as calling down, plus I make UTG and MP1 pay for any draw they might be on if MP3 happens not to have the Queen.
