Re: QQ - what to do with this flop and this raise?
I think your bet is fine... you could get away with betting just two-thirds of the pot but that's just nit-picking.
The beauty of betting two-thirds or more (more aggressive than the standard c-bet), which is what you did, is that you can give the player credit for a hand if he calls or raises. As he raised, you can let the hand go comfortably.
Also, this is the sort of bet you'd make if you had a king, weary of the flush draw and any ace arriving on the turn/river.
I agree with gobucks that if you check, you're giving up on the hand and, right now, you've no reason to do that.
