One of the first hands of a 30+3

Button (t1285)

<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t15, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, Button calls t15, Hero completes, BB checks.
Flop: (t57.50) Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>

Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets t125</font>, Hero calls t125.
Final Pot: t657.50
I like this line because 1) it keeps the pot small and 2) I think that it maximizes my payoff when I'm ahead while minimizing how much I pay off when behind.
However, it does run the risk of letting worse hands catch up, and things get tricky when the board gets scary and he keeps firing.
So what's your line for this hand, and similar early hands?
