SB has the makings of a maniac, (80/60/2.8) over 12, I've seen him raise with bottom pair. MP2 appears to be a fishy calling station, (59/6/.68) over 13.

Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (10 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif, Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero caps</font>, MP2 calls, SB calls.

Flop: (13 SB) 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP2 calls, SB calls.

<font color="purple">At the time I was thinking that I should try to get rid of MP2 and go heads up against the maniac. Looking back, I'm not sure if this was a good idea. Do I want to get rid of opponents here, or keep them in? </font>

Turn: (9.50 BB) A/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero calls, MP2 calls.

<font color="purple">This seems to help my hand, but I'm worried about MP2, and turn into a giant calling station. </font>

River: (12.50 BB) J/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero calls, MP2 calls.

<font color="purple">Still have no idea where I'm at. What should I have done? (And why?) </font>

Final Pot: 15.50 BB

I don't mind this vs a maniac.

MP2's either folding here without a diamond or ace, or he's going to coldcall 2, and your raise isn't really going to change that. As soon as that second ace falls, there's no question about me going to showdown.
