OESD, overcard and medium pair/top kicker

[twang]

Blinds 250/500, about 100 of 650 players left. Stack: 5000-ish.
Hero is MP1 with KTs
UTG (semi-loose bigstack) limps, Hero limps. LP limps and BB checks.

Flop: QJ3 rainbow (one of my suit)
BB checks. UTG bets 500, Hero raises to 1500. LP and BB fold. UTG calls.

Turn: T (not my suit)
UTG checks, Hero?

Edit: Oh, I forgot. What about the flop raise?

I think you have to take the free card. He can't be drawing to a flush, so either he's drawing to a straight, which he could have hit, or is holding on to a jack or queen. I think he calls you're bet with the queen, and depending on your image and how loose he is he might call with a jack, he could even be trapping with a set. I think all in all, you should take the free card and hold to catch your straight or possibly a ten, or king if it's still good.

I think preflop is pretty bad. If you're saying your stack is 10xbb, you either need to push or fold this preflop. If I push here it kinda depends on what I think of UTG, how much of his stack he would have to commit to call me, etc.. basically what kind of hands do you feel he is limping? I would hate to see him flip over KQ or AT here but a push is probably good.

The flop is an insta push. The pot is ~2250 and you have 4500 left with a strong draw. Get it all in. With these stack sizes you can't really be playing much postflop.

all in preflop... or fold...

-OR- all in on the flop.

personally... I also think you have him beat here... i would be willing he has 9-10 or some other such BS hand.

Guys,
thanks for the replies. Yup, my raise on the flop was pretty bad. As for the PF limp...the table had been playing rather passive so I figured I had a good chance to take a look at the flop for 10% of my stack.
