Here's a situation I am encountering sometimes where I think I am outkicked and am wondering if I can push my opp off his hand. Is this entirely read dependent? Is it worth trying to take advantage of a scary card on the turn or should I look for a cheap showdown? Or fold?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

CO ($2.15)
Button ($9.95)
SB ($24.90)
BB ($10.30)
UTG ($8.30)
UTG+1 ($4.35)
MP1 ($9.80)
Hero ($10.15)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A, 7.
UTG calls $0.10, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.10, 2 folds, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($0.40) Q, 6, A (4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG bets $0.3, Hero calls $0.30, SB folds, BB folds.

Turn: ($1) Q (2 players)
UTG bets $0.4, Hero ???
Must get more aggressive - Tonight we dine in $25NL! rah rah rah! etc

 Don't bother, I'm pretty sure you'll only get called by three queens. Look at the fact that he limped UTG. I remember back in my idiot days, I used to limp UTG with garbage like QJ and KQ because I didn't know whether to raise or fold. Pushing opponents off better hands is something that shouldn't be tried until you've hit higher stakes. Having said that, you can push the couple of TAG grinders that you'll usually see around off their hands.. The rest are just calling stations though, so make hands and valuebet them.

 I agree (with OP), I think he has an A, and is afraid of the Q. Thing is I don't think he'll fold (unless you overbet). I don't see a problem with calling this small bet.

If you raise, the Ax you beat are likely to fold (bad). A8-AT may fold (good), AJ,AK don't (bad).
