Default Level 2 KK

UTG+1 is very tight early, SB is quite loose. UTG+1 very aggressive postflop, SB is fairly passive.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (10 handed) converter

SB (t555)
BB (t1740)
UTG (t610)
UTG+1 (t1660)
UTG+2 (t835)
MP1 (t585)
MP2 (t850)
Hero (t985)
CO (t1255)
Button (t925)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t30, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t100</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB calls t85, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t70.

Flop: (t330) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Converter seems messed up.
UTG+1 checks, I bet 200, SB calls, UTG+1 Checkraises all in...

I _______

I'm afraid it's plays like this and not variance that have been causing a recent massive downturn in my results.

I probably should have raised more pf, I think this may be a silly psychological error due to feeling like everyone is folding to my early raises recently.

On the flop, it looks like clear sailing, at least at first. SB's call could be a flush draw, slowplayed Q, bare Ace (unlikely), or underpair. When UTG+1 checkraises all-in, I'm not certain at all as to what he has. He could easily make this play with a flush draw, a queen, 33, or aces (I don't think he'd slowplay them like this, though). There is some chance that he has a lower pair, but I find it unlikely that he would risk his stack in a situation like this when he could very well be drawing to two outs.

At any rate, what's my play here, and is it easy? I didn't think for too long about it.
