Use a condom. (protection post)

UTG is pretty awful. Right now he is at 93/64 after 15 hands. Obviously 15 hands is nothing, but we are seeing a bit of a trend here [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
The other two players involved are largely unknown quantities.

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $0.5.

I think that this preflop call could have been a bit too loose, given the 2 limpers. My thinking was, that people's calling standards would go down on a raise from UTG as he was obviously raising way too much.

I wanted to protect my hand here. I figured I was ahead of UTG now, but he is a raising fiend, so I bet out, hoping he would be kind enough to raise it for me. He did, of course, but the other two called. I decided then, that nobody was leaving on a 3-bet, so I now decide to bet out on any turn.

Well, it got one of these jokers out. Maybe I should have 3-bet. Can't decide. Help here, please.

easy bet.

What do you think of my attempts to protect here? 3-bet the turn? comments appreciated.
