Default flopped boat

Preflop, I almost always raise but decided to try for a limp-reraise since the table was a little aggressive.

Once I am bet into, what is my plan on the flop?

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

Button ($516.26)
SB ($171.90)
BB ($1262)
Hero ($732.52)
MP ($414.14)
CO ($164.90)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $3.
Hero calls $6, MP calls $6, CO calls $6, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB (poster) completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($30) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets $26</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero...</font>

If you have a crazy image just go allin. Actually, sometimes I go allin because you won't get any action unless he has a 9. Or he could have TJ, and you could let him catch up by flatcalling.

I see no reason not to raise. If you call, anything you are getting more money out of would have called your flop raise anyways (a 9 or TJ). I think I raise and lead half the pot on the turn and maybe pot the river but I am pretty sure I suck.

Raise.

Just calling here then raising on a later street is by no means tricky. You want the pot as big as possible, and hope someone flopped good.

raise so you can bet more on the turn and more on the river.

I see no reason to raise. Pretend you have Qx. If he checks turn, he probably has something like QJ. If he fires, he likely has 9x, and you can make a value raise.

I don't like a raise.

You may as well raise. If he has a 9 he may push on you, if not he might still call JT (so don't raise too much), and there's always the comedy AA option.

The problem with calling is that a lot of turns kill your action even if he has something like 92o.

I almost never slow play but this is a spot to do it. You have people to act behind you that you want to come along and a raise shuts out alot of hands. If someone has JT behind you and a raise knocks them out while a call lets them draw completly dead. If it was just me, the BB, and SB I would raise, but with people behind a call is best.

Raising here is pretty dumb.
