QQ runs into something suspicious

[Aaron W.]

UTG+2 is LP-P (57 VPIP/0 PFR/0.6 AG)
SB is a LAG (70/15/5.5) -- it's fun to look at, but this is only about 20 hands' worth. But from watching him, he was an obvious LAG.

I was pretty convinced that I was beat after UTG+2 did his flop call-3-bet. But after that point, I really had no idea what to do.

Flop: I didn't want to fold because I had 18:1 odds, which was 'close enough' to catch my 2-outer on the turn.
Turn: Now I'm closing the action with a Q flush draw. It's a weak draw, but LAG probably doesn't have it (he probably would have 3-bet the flop with his draw.) But UTG+2 doesn't have it either because he's a passive and wouldn't play the flop that way if had a draw then.
River: Now I'm closing the action with my Q-flush. Is it worth a raise here with such a weak one card flush? I thought not (plus I didn't want to risk getting 3-bet by SB).

Well UTG+2 probably is slow playing his trips. I wonder if a value raise on the river would be prifitable.

I wouldn't, that board is a little too scary. The Q flush gives you a shot at taking the pot for the one bet to call, but the SB bet out at you. It seems he wasn't affraid of of the river. I wouldn't be surprised if he had the A or K of spades. A raise would open the door to a raise and a reraise. You'd much rather play this pot for 1 bet on the river than for 3 or even 4.

I like how you played this hand on all streets.
