Default QQ UTG vs. flop raise on T-high board

Just my second orbit with this guy, but I have seen him play a lot of hands and a lot of him he has played aggressively. He has reraised me PF already and I was forced to lay down. This flop is fairly dry, so how are we reacting to his be raise?

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
8 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
Threads13: $22.65
UTG+1: $47.90
MP1: $12.65
MP2: $24.60
CO: $13.75
Button: $48.75
SB: $16.30
BB: $25

Pre-flop: (8 players) Threads13 is UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">Threads13 raises to $1</font>, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($2.35, 3 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Threads13 bets $2</font>, <font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 raises to $7.75</font>, Threads13...?

this spot is very read dependent. against unknowns, i usually assume they are donkeys and call then check/push safe turns. that might be assuming too much though.

Reraise and a lot of hands aggressively in 2 orbits = aggro donk. I'd push now because any A, K or spade gets you scared and gives the donk a chance to push you of a hand. He'll call with FD or T

I was thinking that he would do this with hands like TPDK and maybe even a good FD. Also, I was thinking he would be less likely to play a set this way. He seemed to me like the type of play that would play a set slower.

This is entirely read dependent.

In the OP you seem to think he would slow play a set, and fast-play draws. So, since you have one of his spade outs, and you don't want to get it all in on the flop where he could very well have a slight edge with two cards to come, I like the idea of call the raise, then CRAI a non-spade/non-straight turn card.

If the board gets scary on the turn with a spade or straight-type card, then you may have to check/fold to a push.
