Ok, so I've been so excessively card dead, anyone who hasn't pegged me as a real nit at this table just isn't paying attention, although that is probably most of the table. I doubled up a little earlier when I shoved after like 6 limpers with AK (pot was already 1/3rd of my stack or so at that point), and BB was kind enough to call with KQ. It is not exaggerating much to say that that is the only hand I had played, and we are over an hour in. BB is extremely loose, and mostly passive. SB seems pretty loose as well.

Full Tilt Poker, NL Hold'em Tournament, 50/100 Blinds, 8 Players
LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter

BB: 11,845
UTG: 905
UTG+1: 1,430
MP1: 7,410
Hero (MP2): 2,910
CO: 6,415
BTN: 4,205
SB: 3,325

Pre-Flop: (150) 8 Q dealt to Hero (MP2)
3 folds, Hero raises to 300, 2 folds, SB calls 250, BB calls 200

Flop: (900) J 9 T (3 Players)
SB bets 300, BB calls 300, Hero ???

Looking back I don't like the pre-flop raise mostly b/c the identity of the BB, although do think Q8s is raisable in the hijack if circumstances were better.

What is the play on this flop?

Well I think you can make a case for just calling or raising here. Since we have position and the flop is a rainbow flop just calling and then raising the turn would be ok. Really the only turn cards we won't like are straight counterfeiters. However since we are up against two loose players I think the best play is to just raise right now on the flop. I'd raise it up to about 1200 or so.

I would just shove. There is already a big pot out there of 1500 chips, no need to mess around in this spot imo, especially against 2 bigger stacks, one of which will probably call you down with any king in their hand.
