AA facing a check raise on the flop

[amoeba]

well I would fold to the flop checkraise.

it just doesn't make sense for it to be coming from top pair especially since its a Q high board and very likely for me to have top pair already.

if it was a T high flop or lower, I would have called the checkraise then decided on turn.

also, if it was raise behind me instead of a checkraise, I might have 3 bet the flop.

Thanks for all of the advice. I have to say I played this hand pretty badly. My own personal take on the hand was that if he had hit a set, he would have just smooth-called my flop bet. He obviously wanted me out of the pot with all of his aggression.

I figured I was against a pair of Kings or two pair, but I had a hard time putting him on QT or T7. Worst case scenario is that I have two outs, if he has two pair I have twelve (2 As, 4 Ks, 3 Js and 3 7s) and if he has KK I am sitting pretty.

Here is the rest of the hand:

It was a happy ending, but I really feel like I botched this one. Thanks again to everyone for their advice. I am not sure I would have made this call against someone that was a more TAG.

Maybe it's weak, but every time I call I see two pair or better.
