I didn't say what I would do, and in some ways, it's not important. What is important, is understanding why you should or should not bet the flop. What were you trying to accomplish? What are your assumptions about your opponents? These concepts are even more important on the turn, when the bet has doubled and you are still in a multiway pot with 2nd pair. Why did you bet?

I will say that checking queens on an ace high flop does not make you weak, and should be considered. You can see the action and then decide if you want to continue. For example, you might raise a bet from the button, or you might fold if it's bet and raised back to you, or...

To get the discussion going, let me ask this: are you concerned about giving free cards? How often will the flop be checked through?
