Both opponents are new (only been around one orbit), and this hand came up. Now, this particular hand played itself, but different machinations of it could cause situations that I'd like some input on. First the hand:

Now the situational questions:
1) The calling of the reraise PF was appropriate, correct? (I cant see pushing being right, but I'm still a NL newb, so I may very well be wrong.)
2) Whats the play if the flop comes with no card higher than a jack and it's rainbow? 2-suited? monotone?
3) I'm assuming that it's check fold time if an ace or king comes without a queen. But, whats the plan if the flop comes with an ace and a queen? a king and a queen? all three? do suits come into play heavily in any of these situations?
I think that's more or less it... and more than likely too much... but I'd like some feedback nonetheless. Still trying to wrap my head around all this NL wackiness [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].
Thanks in advance,
