Need to start posting more hands. Trying to post a few interesting ones from each session. UTG+1 reraised with 23s a few orbits early. No read on CO but he had a $3800 stack at the table.

Re: QQ vs. Suited Flop
 

I don't like this one bit. UTG+1 three bet pre flop, which of course _could_ mean AK - AJ of hearts. Much more likely is a pocket pair in the range AA - TT or AKo.

In other words - there's a good chance you're ahead, so I'd bet out on this flop. Check calling means you either lose too much or win not enough.

Re: QQ vs. Suited Flop
 

Bet out the flop, bet out the turn. I'd probably call/check-call the river if I get raised on both. I could understanding folding the turn to a raise as well but that's probably weak-tight considering you could be raised by quite a few hands you beat, or even a draw
