FWIW, I tend to limp a lot preflop rather than raise a lot, especially with hands like QTs. In these small, usually soft vegas games I like to see the flop cheep, then get out if it doesn't suit me. AKs of course gets raised, but QTs? Probably not, at least not by me. My buddy tends to be more proactive, the hyper-aggressive type, while I tend to wait and pounce when I have the goods.

As it turned out, the turn was a small offsuit rag. SB again bet $10 and was again raised to $25, called. River another rag. SB bets $10 AGAIN and gets raised to $25 AGAIN, calls. SB had Q6 (???) and the BB had one of the hands I suspected, K9 for a straight.
