Both UTG & MP1 are loose and have shown down some ugly hands so the raise EP didnt mean anything special. They could both make this play with with a pretty wide range that I was way ahead of, including Ax which is the reason I wanted to see the flop without commiting too many chips.
Anyway, how is my action?

Ure play is horrible IMO, u must push queens on that situation u describe and if u have some kinda mega read then fold but please dont call with QQ( if u feel tricky u might slowplay AA, but slowplay QQ!!QQ!!!thats suicidal)

I don't find it that terrible. Hero can call PF and push any flop without a K or A. This is lvl2, you know... If it was lvl4, than it's an auto-push.

I think its more profitable to push right away, we dont want a good play we want the best. ( calling with qq is not horrible but is clearly not the best play IMO)

I have no problem with the first call. But given his reads not pushing after that call was re-raised is a very, very poor play.

As for the post flop play I think the push is fine given your reads.

Push preflop the first time, or reraise.

Definitely push preflop after the minraise and action gets around to you.
