Default 3-bet pot with KK NL 50

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (5 handed)

Hero ($50)
SB ($69.43)
BB ($47.14)
UTG ($49.50)
MP ($38.70)

Preflop: Hero is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $2</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $7</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG calls $5.

Flop: ($14.75) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets $7</font>,<font color="#CC3333"> Hero raises all-in</font>, MP has $24.7 left

Villain was about 30/15 but only after 20 hands so his stats don't matter much. I think I'll get a call from Q's here as my push doesn't look strong but the other hands he might have that I get value from (88-JJ, AK) will most probably fold. The question is, how do I maximize my profit against villain's range here (if he's got QQ or AA I'm screwed anyway but most of the time I'm ahead)? I have position so should I just call and bet the turn/raise AI if he bets or do I lose value against Q's (JJ hero flop call anyone? ;o), do you think we make more this way against villain's range? One could also make something gay like min-raise the flop but eh, I never do that. My play should look like AK but I don't think villain realizes this, meh. Comments on how I maximize my EV here.

I like a call on the flop since its such a dry board.

make a raise that is smaller and looks like a possible bluff. Maybe a little more like $10 over. This then puts is whole stack in jeopardy whether he calls or moves in. Either way you are putting him to a decision for all his chips. You must put him all in no matter what here. I think he would rather put his stack in raising with something like KQ rather than calling your all in with KQ.

Does that make any sense at all?? lol
