QQ hand - what's the best line?

This kind of situation is one that I have yet to find a line that I actually like. In this specific hand, I'm not entirely comfortable with betting into an ace on the flop (even though it is my standard line), but I don't want to give away a free card to a flush draw. When it's raised, is it +EV to fold, or should I call down?

I realize that most situations are read dependent, but unless the villian is extremely agressive or extremely passive I don't think they help too much here.

I think I call - mostly for image, then check/fold unimproved.

what does villain cold call with would be the question. i think most of the ones- stupid or other wise have you beaten or solid redraws plus UTG has called 2 back: Axs, KQs, Ax-anything.

you have no solid redraws- your straight is a joking miracle and 1 of your outs puts 3 to a flush, so i'm comfortable folding w/o a read of trickiness, bluffer, or otherwise.

i realize the pot is large, but 2 players playing this way, you could be in a world of hurt before the river comes in.

i thought about calling, but i doubt you'll get a free look at the river (checked through turn) if MP was indeed trying to fold out the field with a T or mid pocket pair.

Any reads?
Reraise it. If he caps it he might hit 2 pair or a set so i would c/f the turn. But there's a really good chance that he's on a draw and your hand is still good.

Wow, that flop sucks. He cold called, so I could easily see any ace, pocket 10's, or pocket 5's. You are probably behind, but I would call and fold the turn unimproved.

So folding is probably the best line here, but do you still lead the flop?

[_bustedflush_]

You're in a tough spot. I call the flop raise and then check-fold the turn UI. The thing that seals it for me is having two villains going into the turn.

To everyone advocating a raise or a call, what is your rationalization for such a play? You could be drawing to as few as 1 out and are still very vulnerable to redraws if you are ahead.

Yeah. Leading that flop is mandatory. They don't always have the A, but it often helps to listen when they say they do.

Edit: And reraising is pretty bad. You're very likely behind.
