Too aggressive on a scary flop?

Party 2/4

BB is a 2+2er. He doesnt know that I am.
UTG is loose pre and post flop but not a total moron

UTG limps, its folded to me in the SB. I raise w A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. BB and UTG call.

Flop, three players, 6sb: Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I bet, BB raises, UTG calls, I three bet, BB and UTG both call.

Turn, three players, 7.5bb: 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I bet, BB and UTG call

River, three players, 10.5bb: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I (mumble obscenities at the screen) and bet, bb calls, UTG raises. Hero ???

UTG's cold call on the flop sure does ring like a Jack and if he has the Jack, what does our collegue in the BB have? Smells like 2-pair to me, and you flop 3-bet has scared him into call down as he's got you on a set. Do I 3-bet the flop here, well w/UTG's call, I may call the flop raise and precede to either c/r or even c/call the turn.

You're smoked on the river, easy fold.

Peace,

No need to 3 bet the flop here. the reraise by the BB will thin the field for you. because of your position you can't pull hte free card play. By 3 betting, all you are doing is building the pot were marginal hands that would normally fold if they don't improve will call with just an ace
