Default position vs TAG NL 600 -- how much pressure???

this was supposed to be BBV but since i put it in a strategy forum i will put in a hand of poker for you to analyze

3/6 party poker
TAG opens UTG, i call on button with T9s, blinds fold (effective stacks 100bb)
flop is Q82 with two spades. UTG bets pot, i call
turn is Q. UTG bets 2/3 pot, i raise pot
turn is 8. UTG checks, I go all in for about $400 (pot is about $400)

comments on all streets appreciated. My image is slightly loose, slightly aggressive tag

This look bad to me. If I want to make a play at the pot, I riase the flop as he is likely to not have a hand who can stand a raise here. On the turn If fold. You could be drawing dead, and heis likely to have trip queens here. I really dont think he bet a underpair again. On the river I assume you tought he dont have the full since he checked. I dont know, if he have it he know you will not call a bet with a worse holding so he check to induce a bluff, or he have AA-KK... or a missed oveplayed flush draw.

I prefer calling the turn and betting any river.

This hand seems familiar.

when i float the flop and raise their turn bet and they call, they always seem to call the river.

I don't think I am drawing dead very often given the action so far. For one thing I think the opponent is very likely to play a full house or quads softer on the turn by either betting less or checking.

One big reason I had for raising the turn was to maximize my EV versus another (higher) flush draw.
