Default bluffing w/ outs, taking it too far?

I think this kind of hand is getting me into tons of trouble.

Flop, sb checks, so I assume he has nothing. Am I wrong in taking the odds here and betting out hoping they fold? It only has to work 1 out of 3 times to be profitable (and the draw will come in sometimes too.)

PokerStars 1/2 Hold'em (6 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (3 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG folds, SB calls.

Turn: (2.50 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>

Is this a bad bet here? I'm guessing yes. Again, just taking the odds and hoping they fold...

, SB calls.

River: (4.50 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero calls

Does this call suck? I'm guessing yes. Man this was a terrible hand... But I'm bringing it up because I run into this type of hand alot at sh.

I'm curious to hear what everyone has to say.

Final Pot: 6.50 BB

the flop bet is fine, just don't be doing it all the time against unknown players. since you got a flop call, just check behind on the turn and fold the river unimproved.

yes, the river call is bad.

Agreed. If the river is Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] the call would be g00t.

Edited because I'm a jackass that can't tell one black suit from another.
