Folding QQ on Flop

[Rosencrantz1]

Aaron...

You make very good points and I can absolutely see following the line you suggest.

Just two comments on what you said:

1) I don't really agree that the fact that there is a lot of betting to come means that raising here is MORE risky than if it were a later street. If we raise and he three-bets, I think we're folding. If he calls and the turn misses us, we can fold to his bet then and we're only out one small bet either way.

2) If you were playing the villain's cards in this hand and had anything EXCEPT the flush (AK, AQ, AA, etc.) how would you respond to the raise behind you? Would you re-raise with TP/GK or would you just call? Would you fold TP if you didn't have the flush on this board?

Again, your post has definitely got me thinking the fold is the right line. But these two things are sticking in my head and I'm curious what you think.
