Default ($20) How do you play this QQ?

I wasn't sure if I should continuation bet or be done with this hand. Still early, but villan was playing more hands than I would consider "normal." In other words, my early read was loose.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) converter

MP3 (t560)
CO (t235)
Button (t485)
Hero (t815)
BB (t2230)
UTG (t1140)
UTG+1 (t870)
MP1 (t795)
MP2 (t870)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls t30, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP3 calls t30, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t125</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG calls t95, MP3 folds.

Flop: (t310) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t200</font>, UTG calls t200.

Turn: (t710) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets t500</font>, Hero folds.

Probably a slightly smaller flop bet, otherwise the same.

This hand shows why being out of position sucks. You really aren't deep enough to find out whether he has a pair or an ace... I don't think you get him to fold a King if he's a loose player, so I would check the flop, and probably fold to a bet.

Bit different @ Stars with 1500 chips.

Limp-call can mean a lot of hands in the lower limits. I would expect him to have a lower pocketpair more often than he has an Ace here.

I'm not betting more than 100 on this flop. I don't think a LAG will call t100 chips with anything you're beating, unless the $20s are THAT donktastic these days.

Being as this is a $22, and there's 100 odd in the pot, I think a bigger raise is called for. I think 200 would be a better amount here.
