$100 NL HE Full Ring: Thin Value Raise vs. Reg

Btw, this is a 6-max ante table, not full ring like the title says.

Villain is a 22/16/28%(2.7) over 1500 hands.
3-bet = 7% (7% squeeze, 6% 3-bet from the BB).

I didn't c-bet this board because I'm running absolutely bat-shit crazy, and I'd probably have to fire 3 barrels to get him off of any pair. This raise too thin?

Ultimate Bet, $0.50/$1, $0.25 Ante NL Hold'em Cash Game, 6 Players

BB: $129.16 (129.2 bb)
UTG: $71.36 (71.4 bb)
Hero (MP): $412.75 (412.8 bb)
CO: $111.50 (111.5 bb)
BTN: $383.92 (383.9 bb)
SB: $171.18 (171.2 bb)

Pre-Flop: Hero is MP with Q A
UTG calls $1, Hero raises to $6, 3 folds, BB calls $5, UTG folds

Flop: ($13.50) 2 KK (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($13.50) 5 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks

River: ($13.50) Q (2 players)
BB bets $9, Hero raises to $32

I guess my only problem with this huge raise is that the only things calling are the flush and the King. Are over pot sized raises normal in higher limits?

i have never played 6max with antes, but i guess there are lots of hands where he can just be like "F YOU I CALL WITH MY 88" so i think it could be profitable

It's not over pot. His call makes the pot 31 and he raises 23 on top.

And yeah I like the raise. He bets any K on flop or turn and probably bets diamonds on the turn. Obviously a diamond flush is possible but I think he has enough weaker Qx hands that call along with just some lower pairs that it's a profitable raise.
