Very Early QQ (10+1)
 
Was my bet too weak on the flop? Did he sense weakness and come over the top? I guess my thought process was to come in for about half of the pot so as not to cripple myself early on. So do I call hoping he has AK/AJ/AT/99 and not JT/TT/JJ/KK/AA?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed) converter

UTG+1 (t745)
UTG+2 (t785)
MP1 (t1355)
MP2 (t745)
Hero (t1000)
CO (t755)
Button (t770)
SB (t300)
BB (t745)
UTG (t800)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t15, UTG+2 calls t15, MP1 calls t15, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t100</font>, CO calls t100, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 folds, MP1 calls t85.

Flop: (t352.50) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

I am no expert at this but I see nothing wrong with your play. Your raise preflop is about right.

On the flop, I would have bet about 2/3 of the pot, to give anyone on a str8 or flush draw the incorrect odds to draw. However, I don't think betting t275 or t175 (your bet) would have made any difference because c/o would have pushed anyway.

Concerning what to do after the push?

I fold. He called your initial raise and pushed your next bet. I would say he can probably beat TPTK. You still have t725 and the blinds are t10/15. You have plenty of chips. Look for a better spot.

you gotta bet at least 250 on that flop. to protect from overcard/ flush + striaght draws. given that I bet that much, I'd call the allin.

I'd call the allin here as well since Party poker players often slowplay their sets. You will often see flushdraw/ TPTK here. did C/O have JT?
