How would you all play this hand?
MP2 had just sat down and I didn't know him.
Thanks,

Preflop: GlemZurg is MP3 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">
1 fold</font>, UTG+2 calls, <font color="#666666">
1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">GlemZurg 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">
4 folds</font>, UTG folds, UTG+2 calls, MP2 calls.
Flop: (11.50 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
UTG+2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">GlemZurg raises</font>, ...
<font color="green">I figure that I may be ahead here or behind but would rather the pot be heads up so I raise hoping to knock out UTG+2.</font>
... UTG+2 folds, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 3-bets</font>, GlemZurg calls.
<font color="green">Now I'm thinking that I may be behind AA, KK or something better. But I didn't know the player so it could be something weaker.
So here is the decision point. The pot is 8.5 big bets. I decide that it would be worth spending 2.5 big bets to call to the end where I may win 10.5 big bets. So my reasoning was: if no really scary cards appear I only have to win 20% to break even.
Is this thinking sound?</font>
Turn: (8.75 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets</font>, GlemZurg calls.
River: (10.75 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets</font>, GlemZurg calls.
<font color="green">I don't like this river card since any A now has a straight. I figure I'm beat but there are 12 big bets in the pot and so I make a crying call.</font>
Final Pot: 12.75 BB
