Default Flopped top 2--tough spot on the turn

Hi all, I'm interested in hearing some opinions on how I played this hand.

15/30 10 handed

Hero is in the BB with K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Preflop: All fold to TAG in MP3 who raises, button calls 2 cold (he has only been at the table for 1 orbit, seems loose but no other read on him), SB folds, I call. 3 to the flop.

FLOP:K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I check, MP1 bets, button raises, I call, MP1 reraises button calls, I call. I play with MP1 quite often, his most likely holdings are AA or a big K, most likely AK. He has at least top pair for sure and will lead the turn (well he could have something like AQ of clubs, but he'll still lead the turn).

TURN:Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I check, MP1 bets, Button raises, I reraise, MP1 thinks for a bit and folds, button caps, I call.

The turn 3-bet was a tough spot for me. I figure the buttons most likely holding is KQ based on the action, if my read on MP1 is correct he has either 7 or 10 outs to improve. I'm really in a pickle here, but I decide to man up and make the raise.

River is a brick and I check call.

Anybody play this any different?

bet/cap the flop, bet the turn and call a raise. the flop has 2 clubs (draw turning potential), AA/AK will certainly dance with you, and you want the ability to seriously pressure any draws (including gutshots). if you bet the flop, tag raises, and the other dude threebets you are still worth a cap and a turn lead.
