Haven't played any serious poker in a few weeks. Decided to clear a couple of PS Bonuses today.

SB is loose PF besides that no read. UTG is a loose passive fish.

PokerStars 2/4 Hold'em (6 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG calls.

Flop: (7 SB) T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 4/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises</font>, UTG calls, Hero calls.

Turn: (6.50 BB) A/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, UTG calls, Hero calls.

River: (9.50 BB) 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, UTG calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>

Also I have to call a 3-bet in this size pot, right?

Well you have to raise the turn or river. I like the river raise as it is much more likely to be called when you are ahead(nobody likes folding the river). And yes, getting 11 or 12 to 1 I call a 3 bet.

I believe waiting to raise the river here is better than raising the turn. I would expect to lose a large percentage of the time to a hand like AT or a 4 (most likely from SB), though.
