Default Out Of Position, Raggy Flush Draw, Fairly Aggro Opponent

This is still a pretty iff-y situation for me. I'm not at all sure I'm dealing with it correctly.

The UTG player here is fairly aggressive, but that's all I know. He has check-raised me 2 times in ~25 hands. Once he folded when I 3-bet. Once I was sure he had the best hand & I folded. Otherwise, he's in many pots and is aggro postflop, although not too aggro preflop.

The SB seems tight-solid, and aggro with value. He doesn't seem bluffy.

Party $50, 6-max, 6 handed. All stacks are right around 50.

UTG open-limps, which is typical for him. SB calls, I have 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and check.

3 to the flop for 1.5. Flop comes 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

SB checks.

What's my plan for the hand?

My image is somewhat unknown, but I've been active. I may be developing a somewhat LAGgy image. Also, I PFRed and won the first hand I played here without showing down.

Edited reads.

Lead out for PSB. Weak board against only two players so there's a good chance you'll take it down immediately.

I'd lead...it's a small pot, raggedy board and you are likely to take it down right now. If you get raised, then you re-think it and make a decision based on the size of the raise. I'd be inclined to call a small raise, and fold a pot sized one.

What do you guys think of checking with the intention to raise the aggro UTG player?

If he folds to your 3-bets, that seems like a viable option.

How much do I mind if he calls?

I would be hoping he folds. If he calls it's definitely damage control mode. He's either going to have something like top pair with KQ, QJ, QT... do you think he plays these up front? Would he raise AQ? What were his PT stats?

If it's not top pair when he calls, it looks like it's going to be the flush draw with Axs, or Kxs depending upon his VPIP. Either way, you're proper fooked.

I think you'd have to check the turn, and see what he does... Unfortunately, if he checks behind it might not provide much information because he might think his pair is behind. If he bets into you, it might be safe to assume he has a pair of queens. Then you can evaluate your implied odds of calling.

If a [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] falls on the turn I'm not going crazy. I'd lead for 3/4 pot, fold to a raise.

If you have a draw + over cards, it may be an OK play, but typically aggro players won't fold at this level, so you're just building a pot that you have 9 high in. Bad play.
