AQ in trouble

[Elbie]

First orbit and absolutely no reads

I raised from the big blind and as expected a lot of callers.

The Q on the flop looks nice but I get raised and after my reraise capped by UTG. Hmmm.. smelling trouble. Looks like a set or a two pair. Could possibly be another Q with a good kicker (K?).

Turn brings a K. What now? (Can I possibly be ahead)?
Keep up aggression by betting out? Go into check/call mode? Give it up?

Hero ?

I would bet out the turn and fold to a raise. If you were behind on the flop, you're behind on the turn. I don't think the average player would cap the flop on a flush / OESD (unless they had both).

I suck at limit though, so someone will eventually come along and correct me.

Check, fold to a bet and a raise, call otherwise and reevaluate on the river.

I did as Clarkmeister suggested and checked. UTG betted, MP2 called and so did I.

The river brought K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] !!

I checked, UTG betted, MP folded and I called
.
Obviously MP2 was on a flush or straight draw that got busted but can I beat UTG here? Is this "crying" call a total waist of a big bet?

I figured that the pot was too big for me to fold for one bet on the river.

Comments?
