Hmm, I just sat down at the table, so unfortunately no reads. The turn raaise completely froze me up. Should I be 3-betting here? All this talk about showing down hands and I figured just calling down would be best. Then the other queen came and I didn't raise... Bad?

Tough without reads. I think I'd play it the same. Sure UTG could have QJ or hearts or whatnot, but after he check-calls 2 cold on the flop then raises the turn, I'm fearing a set or QT or something too. On the river, I think going for the overcall is definitely the right choice. If you were beat on the turn, you still are (unless up against an unlikely T5 or T2) so try to let BB donate a bet

Ok, thanks for the sanity check.

The check/call 2 cold on flop makes me say oh sh$% I'm in for it.

He had two pair or set on the flop right?

I play it the same...UTG's line is consistent w/a set/two-pair; if you 3-bet, the times you get BB to fold his 5 outer I think are outweighed by the times you get capped by UTG drawing very thin or dead. I like river call as well, if you raise you will just get 3-bet when behind, and BB will fold his T/66-99. If you just call you get a likely overcall from BB.
