A "scary-looking brick" is a bit of an oxymoron isn't it? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think the raise on 3rd is fine although it's not my style.
I don't because a lot of times you'll brick 4th and with the bigger pot, makes it harder to get limpers to fold when you want them to on the later streets.

The 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] probably caught his best card. I'm definitely checking to him. Since you raised third, there's not much you can have in the hole that will make me (as an opponent) worried after catching a suited Queen. Although his check on 4th is a little strange.

The rest of the hand looks good.
