Default Did I play this right?

I am wondering whether I played this right or not. This was
the second hand after I sat down and, with no reads on villian I didn't cap turn or river.

Absolute Poker
Limit Holdem Ring game
Limit: $0.02/$0.04
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $0.48
hero: $1.25
CO: $0.61
Button: $0.10
SB: $0.58
BB: $0.69

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

Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (6.5SB, 3 players)
BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">UTG bets</font>, hero calls, BB calls.

Turn: J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4.75BB, 3 players)
BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">UTG bets</font>, <font color="#cc0000">hero raises</font>, BB folds, <font color="#cc0000">UTG 3-bets</font>, hero calls.

River: 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (10.75BB, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">UTG bets</font>, hero calls.

Results:
Final pot: 12.75BB
Should i have capped the turn and river with no reads on him and with the flush board? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'd 3-bet preflop.

I'd raise/call the flop with the intention of folding to a turn bet if 3-bet on the flop.

I'd cap the turn,

I'd raise the river, call a 3-bet.

I might overplay this hand though, [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

All of my advice is given with this limit in mind:

I 3-rack it preflop. You're well ahead of most villain's raising ranges and you certainly don't mind isolating (although this may not happen at this limit).

If bet into on the flop after 3-betting preflop, I might then consider calling, but as played I definitely raise the flop.

With the flop call the turn raise is good, calling the 3-bet vs. capping is the only point that's close. Villain's bet out on the flop could be a flush draw, but it isn't clear. Unless he has a flush, you're chopping a large percentage of the time and winning against Ax and 2-pair hands. Given that, I think calling the turn 3-bet and then calling the river bet is good.

I don't find a lot of players at these low limits bet flush draws (because of the: its a draw, why would you bet before it hits thinking), thats why I'd be more willing to cap it here.

Thanks I will take all of your advice into consideration. It turned out that he raised UTG with J10os, and bet flop with his 10 and raised turn with 2 pair.

3bet or fold the flop, with 3 betting&gt;&gt;&gt;than folding at THIS limit.

I raise/call the flop, raise/call the turn. If I have the lead on any street I take it with preference to 3 betting all streets except the river.

Nano limit players are very loose and WAY over play their hands. Their raising standards are also more broad. However, we must still give respect to an early position raise since you have no reads. This is why I don't like the call. This may be going back to grass roots though where SSHE starting charts suggest folding AQo in EP to a raise from EP. But like I said, this being the nanos, I don't think its a horrible play to call or raise.

3bet PF, AQ is a strong hand
raise flop you have a pair &amp; gutshot

Turn: Now this is interesting 'cause the only hand I can see that possibly beats us Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] maybe T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], but still it's hard to decide whether villain would raise UTG with these.

Therefore I would cap the turn.

I would have capped the turn and the river.
The only hand to beat you is a flush.
But in this case villain may not have been this aggressive pre-flop and on flop.
