Interesting flush hand on a QQ paired board.

[Ricardido]

Ok Villain (MP) in question is raising alot of A8-AK, QJ, QK, KJ type hands and has been in a few hands with me, he seems somewhat loose PF with his raises and over aggresive on the flop- he does however plaay his made hands strongly. He was up over 100$ at one stage and has been playing a touch erratically after loosing a nice sized pot to me with AJ vs my AA. UTG is unknown and no reads but folded every hand before this (only played an orbit or so)

BB ($2.55)
UTG ($56.55)
MP ($81.76)
CO ($52.15)
Button ($49.95)
Hero ($128.10)

Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $0.25.
UTG calls $0.50, MP raises to $2</font>, 2 folds</font>, Hero (poster) calls $1.75, 1 fold</font>, UTG calls $1.50.

Flop: ($6.50) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)</font>
Hero checks, UTG checks, MP checks.

I checked here planning to check-raise and to see where i stand. I expected MP to bet which is his style.

Turn: ($6.50) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)</font>
Hero bets $4</font>, UTG raises to $10</font>, MP calls $10, Hero calls $6.

OK i put out a feeler bet here and try to take down the pot- then UTG livens up?? A smooth call from villain really weirds me out. I strongly put him on AQ/KQ/QJ here. No idea about UTG. I call as im getting my 5-1 needed for the right odds to hunt for the flush.

River: ($36.50) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)</font>
Hero checks, UTG bets $19</font>, MP calls $19,<font color="red">Hero ???? </font>

Ok a great card for me, i check because i think one of these likes there hand too much- i realise soon after that the heart is likely to be a scare card for all and may have missed a crucial chance to bet. After they bet am i just pushing here? UTG played this very strangely im thinking i could be ahead of AQ type hands but dead to 44/55?? Albeit unlikely- they are possible for these two.

Ric.
Any ideas on their two hands- results to follow.

I don't really know that I like a checkraise on the flop. If you were in LP, I'd like it more but a free river card is going to be harder to get OOP (which is what I'm assuming you were trying for). In addition, I don't think a flop checkraise is going to get much action from anything except a queen, which is probably going to price you out of your draw (if not on the flop, then on the turn).

The turn, I like and I'd probably just call the river.

As for their hands, I'm rather sure one of them has a queen, and maybe the one has a smaller flush. A boat is definitely unlikely for the caller, not necessarily out of the question for the leader.
