I hate hands like this. Top pair. Top kicker. Big pot and aggressive opponents. I really do feel like I'm flopping all over the place here. As soon as the BB check-three bet that flop, I started to fear queens, but the other player was being very aggressive as well. How should hands like this be handled?

hmmmm....dunno, i think this might be a situation where i'd prefer check/calling the river. you're almost always beat when you're raised.

But CO didn't show any aggression on the turn.

Yeah - the raise and three bet on the flop with no raise on the turn is the flush draw there the vast vast majority of the time.

I check call that river.
