What kind of read do you have on MP2? If he's the any-ace type (or if anyone at the table is), this is a check-fold on the flop.

BTW, did you make a note on the SB? He's getting the exact same odds to call your raise as he is to complete, yet he now folded? Odd.

I did, he's a maniac. If his hand had been even A2o he'd have raised PF.

The comment about the rest of the table is duly noted though, I think I overfocused on MP2.

Too aggressive in my opinion. This is a wretched flop for you, and with such an uncoordinated board, what could MP2 possibly be raising with but an A or better?

Check-raising the turn might be good if you thought he would raise without the ace, wanted to put the fear in him and wanted a free showdown. But how could this possibly be the case? I think you are spewing here. Learn to let QQ go when it turns to ass like this.
