Default Should I get on the short bus?

I have been working on playing my draws more aggressively. In this situation I know that I don't have great equity against a made flush, but I think I have fold equity to make this play.

Read:
My table image was tight. SB was 32/12/1.6 but played straight-forward. UTG was a little more tricky, not positionally aware, plays easily dominated hands for raises, and bad. After 28 hands their stats were 50/21/1.4.

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.25/$0.50
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $55.80
Hero: $100.90
CO: $38.40
Button: $20.40
SB: $88.75
BB: $61.65

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG+1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to $1</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $3</font>, CO folds, Button calls, SB calls, BB folds, UTG calls.

Flop: 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($12.5, 4 players)
<font color="#cc0000">SB bets $5.5</font>, <font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to $25.5</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises all-in $97.9</font>, 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">UTG calls all-in $27.3</font>.
Uncalled bets: $45.1 returned to Hero.

Turn: A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($76.3, 0 player + 2 all-in - Main pot: $123.6)


River: 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($76.3, 0 player + 2 all-in - Main pot: $123.6)


Results:
Final pot: $76.3

Agreed. Post a hand where you are playing your draws strongly instead of likely betting the best hand.

I like it against the player you described, in hands that where defined preflop in this way.

SB is defenatly not going to lead a flopped flush with a preflop raiser and re-raise waiting to act unless he's a total moron.

On the very very rare case UTG had KsJs or KsTs I also doubt he's going to let the cat out of the bag yet either.

Your hand is most likey good here, SB probably had a worse queen and UTG is "flimflaming"

OK, everyone agrees that this is standrad then.

Just my luck with variance lately, UTG had a set of 6's and their hand held up.

Thanks All
