Re: QTo butchery
Preflop: I think raising here is smart for the reasons you described.
Flop: I would rather 3bet here. BB probably realizes that you're betting in this spot approximately 100% of the time, so his check/raising standards are going to be fairly liberal.
Turn: If there is wisdom to just calling on the flop, I think it is so you can raise if the turn is a blank. The 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] is not a blank, but it does give you redraws. Considering how you played the flop and the two aforementioned factors, I would rather just be passive and call. That said, my prefered line is to 3bet the flop and bet the turn.
River: The pot is pretty big here, so I think this is a fairly clear call with trips.
Just my opinion...
