Default 20/40 live unraised pot with good made hand

I am not much of a NL player, play limit primarily, but lately have been crossing over. I sit down at the Commerce 20/40 NL knowing I am leaving before not too long, and ask the chip runner for the absolute minimum out loud for the table to hear. $2k she says and I am 2k behind.

I wait until my BB to post which is 5 hands. Villian in this hand sees the flop all 5 times, all unraised pots. He may have seen the showdown once but I don't remember, all of the pots were small. So here it is my BB, my first hand at the table, and I get Q3o. UTG limps, UTG+1 (villian) limps, SB completes, I rap.

Flop Qs 9c 3s. I lead out pot (160), UTG calls, UTG+1 makes it 700 to go. He is playing cash behind and I ask him to count it, he has me covered (it was close, which I knew, but I saw on TV you ask them to count it out).

My move? I should say that I was trying to figure out what UTG was going to do but could not. UTG+1 did not seem too upset to count his money...felt we were playing for stacks right there.

You're holding a relatively short stack on this "draw-heavy" board against a villain who sees a lot of flops - why wouldn't you want to push two pair?

You're ahead of J10, AsXs, AQ/KQ/QJ - and only behind a spiked set or Q9 at this point. When you buy-in short, you have to play strong hands like this aggressively. PUSH IT!

Fold fast and ask if you are allowed to top off back up to $2000.

Easy push with a short stack.

I folded...UTG called, turn blank check-allin-call.

UTG+1 shows AQ for the winner.

Ay-yah.
