Pre-Flop: J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (SB)
UTG calls $0.25, CO calls $0.25, BTN raises to $0.50, Hero calls $0.40, BB raises to $0.75, UTG calls $0.50, CO folds, BTN calls $0.25, Hero calls $0.25

Flop: ($3.25) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (4 Players)
Hero bets $2.50, 2 folds, BTN calls $2.50

Hero bets $3.50, BTN calls $3.50

River: ($15.25) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $10, Hero folds

BTN is a sweet loose-passive playing 35/6/1.2 over 80 hands.
BB and UTG hav very similar stats.

I don't like c/r'ing in multiway pots very much, so i decided to bet. Sadly, 2 of the guys folded.
My flop bet preset my line, i wonder if i could have taken a better line.

I seem to loose quite much $$ when playing these kind of draws aggressively, any comments appreciated.

Anyway, I don't have much to offer here. I think you played it all right. The turn bet is mostly just a blocker, but at least it worked. The flop bet seems more debatable to me, but I don't have a problem with it. (Actually, leading, check-calling, and checkraising all seem like legitimate options to me.)
