Default 400 NL, I really want to min-raise this turn.

Readless. Note that the UTG+1 limper has 50BB.

Poker Stars, $2/$4 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 9 Players
LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter

UTG+2: $775.10
Hero (MP1): $525.40
MP2: $178.85
CO: $131.40
BTN: $412.65
SB: $236
BB: $464.90
UTG: $400
UTG+1: $209.90

Pre-Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (MP1)
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls $4, UTG+2 folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $18</font>, 2 folds, BTN calls $18, 2 folds, UTG+1 calls $14

Flop: ($60) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 Players)
<font color="red">UTG+1 bets $20</font>, Hero calls $20, BTN calls $20

Turn: ($120) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 Players)
<font color="red">UTG+1 bets $56</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to $120</font>
Here's my reasoning:

UTG+1 is probably some half-stack donk, so I'm not too worried about him. If he has me beat, then so be it.

By making a small raise, I'm trying to force out the third guy, who probably has a flush draw. Getting heads-up with the 50BB donk increases my equity. If BTN 3-bets turn it's an easy fold for me.

Thoughts?
