Default PS $22 - Do you just flat call this raise?

I reraised. Looking back on this hand, I think I could have gotten more value by just calling. You raise here?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font>

SB (t1675)
BB (t1400)
UTG (t1970)
UTG+1 (t3000)
MP1 (t1230)
MP2 (t1370)
CO (t1460)
Hero (t1395)

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t30, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t90</font>, SB calls t75, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t60.

Flop: (t300) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

if he is aggressive and u dont think he has trips then i just call most the time and let raise him if he bets turn..but i see nothing wrong with the way you played it also

I'm not worried about giving SB good odds, since there are so few two-pair or trips he can make which will beat us. It's only A5 or A2 we're potentially worried about--our call denies those hands proper odds anyway, which he shouldn't have in the first place.

A5 or A2 might be a bit more likely for +1 than for SB but still not very likely. With only one overcard to our Q and a sterile flop, this seems as good a spot as any for setting a bit of a trap with TPTK against an aggressive tall stack, if that's what he is. So a call isn't bad but neither is a raise.
