If you want to extract the maximum, is it a bad play to bet, get raised, and re-raise?

Heads-up, no. That's because heads-up QQ has a much harder time folding. But in a multi-way pot, you want to create action. One other thing you (and everyone else?), might be overlooking:

If the pre-flop raiser has a king and no one else does, you're bet accomplishes the worst possible thing. That is, it gets you heads-up with a hand you're in trouble to.

Realize that check-raising the pre-flop raiser is MUCH more likely to get you heads-up with him than betting is. If you bet and get callers, those callers are going to have a hard time folding to another bet from late position.

I don't like three-betting a late position raise, as it will encourage folds. I think calling the flop raising and leading the turn (ye 'ole' donk-bet) is going to be a better way to encourage action.

I can't see how anyone is seriously considering check-raising here...
