Default Playing scared with KQs?

The main villian in this hand was sort of fishy. He made a very strange allin push against another fishy player with K4s. Betting like 25 dollars into a 4 dollar pot preflop. So his play is suspect

This play didnt have that vibe to me though. I didnt put any faith in the first raise and call and was intending to push myself if the villian only called. However his raise seemed to scream of AQ. Should I push this and pray my king kicker is good or is my lay down ok?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 6 handed) converter

MP ($58.65)
CO ($24.65)
Hero ($23)
SB ($26.4)
BB ($24.95)
UTG ($16.06)

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.1.
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $3</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls $3, SB (poster) calls $2.90, BB calls $2.75.

Flop: ($12) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $2</font>, BB calls $2, UTG bets $13.06 (allin) </font>, Hero folds, SB folds, BB folds.

Final Pot: $16

Your laydown is fine here. If it is heads-up, I think a call would be fine, but with two players left to act after you, the likelihood of a better hand from them is pretty good. Good fold.

You've been hitting the sauce again, haven't you Bobbo? What did I tell you about posting after a few drinks?

Why are we calling 12x preflop raises with KQ? See, you hit top pair, and you still laid it down.
