Default my one interesting hand from tonight

Live 15/30 game at the Bellagio.

I am in MP and viewed as a tight aggressive player.

MP+1: Solid but not spectacular player, his bets and raises represent what he has. Not the type to put a move on.

Button: Old dude who isn't important in the hand beyond the fact that he put bets in preflop.

BB: Your typical crazy maniac. He has been doing some live straddling. Preflop will raise with anything. Extremely aggressive on the flop but when the expensive streets come he only bets and raises with quality hands.

The action:

PRE-FLOP: I pick up Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and raise. I am three bet by MP+1, the button calls three cold and the BB two. I make it four bets and MP+1 caps. From this action I know that MP+1 must have AA or KK to cap it, so I have some catching up to do. So there are four of us to the flop for 21 small bets.

FLOP: 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] BB now bets out. This means that he has caught some small part of the board, so I put him on a flush draw or a pair, maybe even a gut shot straight draw (he would have check raised a set). I raise and MP+1 just calls saying "do you have two black aces" leading me to believe he has kings or possibly two red aces as he is straight forward. Button folds, three to the turn for 27 SB.

Turn: 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] BB bets out again and now I "know" I am behind either his flush, two pair, or straight. So what do I do well raise of course. I am going to leave it there please let me know your thoughts on the turn. I have some thoughts on why I did it but I want to hear what everyone else has to say.

If I did have A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] I would have played the turn completely differently.
