47/17/3.5 over 35 hands. Raise PF? Is not raising particularly bad PF? My read is blocking bets with the FD or maybe KJ. Correct play for this read?

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$1
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $146.20
UTG+1: $47.50
CO: $87.35
Hero: $100.70
SB: $113.30
BB: $128.50

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is Button with Q A
UTG raises to $2, UTG+1 calls, CO folds, Hero calls, 2 folds.

Flop: 6 Q T ($7.5, 3 players)
UTG bets $4, UTG+1 folds, Hero raises to $12, UTG calls.

Turn: 8 ($31.5, 2 players)
UTG bets $14, Hero raises to $44
PSU Class of 2011 weeeeeeee!

Yes not raising this preflop is bad. Bad bad bad. Raise preflop.

As played......meh. Who knows? You probably let him limp in there with poop so if his poop just hit send him your moneyz.

AQ is raise or fold PF. I like raising. As played, I don't like raising the flop. It builds a pot that we want to keep small. If you don't know already, you should research topics on pot control..
My sig is too much for you to handle.

especially in an unraised pot I had to triple-check that!

Good title. Pre-flop is a blocking bet too. I agree with raising pre-flop with a real hand and position against the min raise.

I understand raising the turn with the draws out but considering one just hit and he leads again, I'm not sure I like going full pot again?
