Fold the flop when it's two bets to you. You're not getting odds to try and catch an A or Q, and even if you do they may not be good.

The flop 3-bet is insane on every level. At the very best, you have six outs to beat your opponent's top pair. When he caps, he has at worst two pair or a set, and the only way you're winning this one is to go runner-runner, either to trips or a straight. A horrible situation to be in.

Im assuming others have said this but fold the flop in this situation.

Yes good point and worth making for me. I've been ramping up my aggression so I can bet out the flop when I miss, but now it seems I need to ramp back down after my initial bet and look at the basic strategy when I run into counter aggression.
