QQ in 3bet pot, facing shove on flop (NL50)

[CalledDownLight]

Ok. Sorry for the really confusing post as I don't usually post like this, but I was BB and the btn (Hero in this hand) was CMAR. I was trying to get a feel for what he would raise me with that folded to a shove, but in retrospect this probably wasn't the best way to approach it. If Cry would chime in that would be great, but if he doesn't want to say what he had then thats ok too.

sorry I forgot about this thread...

I wasn't suggesting that every time I raise this flop (or any flop for that matter), I have the nuts or air. I'm just trying get you, or CMAR, or anyone else who would raise in this spot, to think and understand *WHY* they're raising. Is it for value? Protection? Information? As a bluff?
Telling you not to raise the flop without explaining why won't really help you or anyone else.

And thinking about this type of stuff should get you to realize why calling in this spot is probably a better play.

P.S. I hope I'm not coming off as a douche in these posts, but thinking on this level has really opened up my game.

No, I undestand that, but I was just trying to figure what he would raise/fold in that spot, but I didn't post in a manner that allowed for that discussion easily. I have no idea what he actually held in this spot. FWIW, I smooth call here over 90% of the time and decide whether to commit on the turn most times if I have QQ.
