...perfectly questionably that is. Even though the pot ended up huge, I can't help but think I could have pumped it up more. On the other hand, maybe someone thinks I should have been defending my hand, rather than pumping the pot? Let me know.

Reads: BB tends towards super-loose, super aggressive. MP1 seems aggressive, and somewhat tightish.
Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 3-bets</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Button calls, SB calls, BB calls, Hero calls.
I just called the 3-bet because I'm out of position, and MP1 probably has a decent hand.
Flop: (18 SB) Q/images/graemlins/club.gif, J/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(6 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, MP2 calls, Button calls, SB calls, BB calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 3-bets</font>, MP2 calls, Button calls, SB folds, BB calls, Hero calls.
If I bet out here on the flop, MP1 may raise, driving people out of the pot. So I check, being fairly sure he'll bet. This way more money is trapped in the pot when I raise all his callers.
I'm least sure about this play. Should I have merely called here, going for the check-raise on the turn? Should I have 3-bet here? Should I have bet out, *trying* to drive people out of the pot? So many choices...
