PokerStars 0.10/0.20 Hold'em (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Table is a mixture of fish and calling stations with one taz who is not in this hand.

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
1 fold, UTG+1 calls, 3 folds, Hero raises, 1 fold, Button calls, SB calls, 1 fold, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: (9 SB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB bets, UTG+1 calls, Hero ??

UTG+1 has played 100% of his hands thus far (2 orbits) and is passive. SB raised from the BB with 57o after 7 players were already in for one bet on an earlier hand. The button was rated gambler using harv's rules for PT.

Thanks for any suggestions

I raise to see where SB stands. UTG+1 probably will stay for the ride.

If turn is a blank I will bet\raise again.

No way I'm raising the turn.

If you get a turn blank and get bet into again after your flop aggression is a bad sign.

I'd call down (possibly fold - really depends on how stupid the guy really is) if bet into again on the turn.

I'd really like some better reads here.

HU I'd play this WA/WB.

As is is, I'd probably raise the flop and call down if the SB 3 bets and UTG+1 doesn't suddenly wake up.

I think raising is your worst option.

I favor calling every street, but I think folding is much worse than raising.

WA/WB. Fold if its ever two back to you. Bet if checked to.

Im going to raise this hand deffinitely.

Hero raised the flop.

I want to make sure Im correct in my reason for raising.

-pot was large so folding at this point I felt was wrong.

-calling doesn't define my hand against the other players possible holdings. An Ace will 3-bet or donk the turn most likely and I will know Im beat.

-raising is the only option left and if my hand is good we want more loot into the pot.
