Default Flimsy Top Pair on Flop, and Pot Sized Raise was Called

Party $5 R+A, BB300.

Reads: SB will bet just about any hand if first to act. UTG is a big stack recently moved to this table, nothing more.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (10 handed) converter

UTG (t11399)
UTG+1 (t2250)
UTG+2 (t3325)
MP1 (t3445)
MP2 (t11269)
MP3 (t14800)
CO (t6987)
Button (t9450)
SB (t6511)
Hero (t3604)

Preflop: Hero is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls t300, <font color="#666666">6 folds</font>, Button calls t300, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t1200) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t300</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1300</font>, UTG calls t1300, Button folds, SB folds.

Turn: (t4100) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>, Hero?

Do I bet at this again? Should I have just pushed on the flop?

My thinking is a pot sized raise on the flop would push out middle/bottom pairs and draws. The Q on the turn, plus the flop call by UTG looks like a straight might have been hit; or still drawing to diamonds.

You're in for 1/2 of your stack. I think you need to suck it up and pray you hit your straight. I usually play this tournament too. This cold call usually means a set. Tho, if hes a complete donk it could be a flush draw.

In conclusion, just push the turn.

Push the turn, no other choice.
