Default AA against a TA and a flushed board

Villian is of the TA-A sorts. I put him on a flush draw on the flop as that's exactly how I would have handled a flush draw if I were him. Was it correct to trust my instincts and fold, or should I have re-raised, and folded to a cap?

Party Poker 0.50/1.00 Hold'em <font color="#0000FF">(10 handed)</font> link

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#666666">1 folds</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">6 folds</font>.

Flop: (7.50 SB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, MP1 folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, UTG+1 calls.

Turn: (6.75 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: 7.75 BB.

EDIT: Actually, I'd probably lead the turn, and call down if I get raised. Why is he iso-raising with a flush draw on the flop? Makes no sense.

Why 3 bet the turn if you're not going to lead or c/c the river?

The only thing worse than the fold is the turn check. Yuck. Bet/call, yo!

Maybe I'm a showdown muppet but I'm seeing the river here. Bet/call the turn, check/call the river. (disclaimer: I suck).

Default Re: AA against a TA and a flushed board

this will be a pocket pair a ton.

since the Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] is now out of his possible hand range, what beats you? AK/AJ/AT/KJ[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]? 4 hands?? would he not 3-bet AK? obviously the guy is not that great given his preflop play. you could not pry my aces away from me in this hand.

*grunch*
Why do you necessarily put him on a flush draw here? What 2 hearts would he call 2 bets with PF? AKs he 3 bets, AQs is impossible because the Q falls on the turn. That leaves AJ, AT, and KJ possibly (although that is not really tight). Plus, if he did have something like A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], why would he blast MP1 out of the pot basically nullifying his odds to a flush. This is an interesting hand if the opponent is really a TAA. Any hand that a true TAG would call 2 cold with UTG+1(bizarre in itself) would not typically be raised here except somthing like 99 which he want to protect and isolate you with. Everything else, he is 3-betting preflop most likely.

I would of bet/called the turn. I he raised the turn, I would c/c the river. If he only calls the turn, I'm b/c the river to.

If you're going to re-raise and fold to the cap I don't see why you can't just call down? It cost the same and you can't be bluffed out of the hand. My gut says call down(5-1 odds).
Does he raise the flop with a good flushdraw? I think he's got an over pair to the flop or AQ maybe.

You need to learn to play flush draws better then.

You raise when you have players trapped in between you and the original raiser, you dont face the field with 2 cold.
