Default Another top pair I should\'ve laid down?

Villain is unknown

Party Poker (6 max, 6 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls, button folds, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> (3 SB)
Hero checks, BB bets, CO folds, Hero check-raises, BB calls.

Turn: 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> (3.5 BB)
Hero bets, BB raises, Hero calls.

River: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> (7.5 BB)
Hero checks, BB bets, Hero calls.

Final Pot:

The BB could have anything preflop. Is this usually a raise for most people? Also, because BB could have anything, does that make a fold any clearer on the turn?

EDIT: oh, and my downswing is at 270 big bets so that's great

I'd raise preflop.

I DEFINITELY bet the flop.

I usually raise preflop here. I hate your c/r flop line. Just bet out here for value/protection. Makes the hand much easier to play too.

I usually bet out here, but c/r'd to mix up my play.

Is this a standard pre-flop raise against 2 unknown limpers (instead of 1)?

Wow people are raising PF here? I'd like to hear more about that. Are people generally raising JTs or like A7s/A6s here?

I'm raising this PF every time. CO is bad if he is open limping, period.

I would bet the flop. Now in this situation I think I would call down, depending on my villian read. If he is tight... I would fold quicker then a girls fart.
