Hero (SB): $28.21 (112.8 bb)
BB: $29.13 (116.5 bb)
UTG: $13.60 (54.4 bb)
MP: $30.17 (120.7 bb)
CO: $25 (100 bb)
BTN: $69.24 (277 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A♠: A♥:
UTG folds, MP raises to $0.60, CO folds, BTN calls $0.60, Hero raises to $3, BB folds, MP calls $2.40, BTN folds

Flop: ($6.85) Q♣: Q♦: T♦: (2 players)
Hero bets $3.30, MP raises to $7.64, Hero???

Preflop: Standard.

Flop: Cbetting for value. MP is a reg and plays 23/18 in 709 hands. He has alot of Qx in his range, but I block some AQ combos, ofcourse. He is raising cbets 22% when IP. Population tendencies tell that I should fold, but I think he might have a bit wider raising range than Qx there. Also, he might get more value by calling Qx and TT and he probably knows that. He probably also knows that I'm folding too much vs raises. What do you think?

What do you think about slightly smaller bet OTF? You want to keep his range wide. This flop looks scary.
Some aggro guys will definitely raise this kind of flops because ppl usually fold without a queen or TT. Since you know he has been raising flops actively, I think you could call.

Why don't you let him do the betting?

Betting smaller might be an option but then if he would raise, besides the above questions, I would also ask yourself: Did I induce this because he thinks that I'm weak?

I think he could have some flushdraws in his range so I don't want to give free cards. He might also spike some fullhouses OTT if he has hands like JJ, 99, 88. Majority of those are calling the flop so I have a value bet, I think.

I don't hate this check/calling option, though, but what would you do vs 2nd or 3rd barrel?

I do not mind giving free cards to hands with 2-4 outs...
We have 2 streets of value so we can call once again and then fold.
