CO is tag, something like 17/11. On the flop I put him on something like AK, AQ, AT. On the turn I figured I would bet, and if he pushed he had something like QQ-AA, or maybe a set of tens.

Thoughts please.

I reraise here PF as a standard play. On the flop I like a lead because I dont want it getting checked through, especially in a 3way pot. On the turn I lead again as well and think folding to the push is fine. I just really dont see CO pushing a worse hand, but I still disagree with your analysis. PF he is most likely reraising AK, and a player that tight probably isnt calling just with overs on a flush board. An overpair is most likely raising here, especially from a TAG, so I would put him on a draw most likely. There is a chance of a made hand, but I would expect to see a set more often than an overpair, and neither are very likely to me. Either way, I like the fold.

By the way, its usually easier to read the hand with reads at the beginning of it instead of at the end.

elipsesjeff is an unknown quantity at this point

If CO is a tag more likely he has a set given his line than an over pair. I still reraise preflop and it makes it easier to play on the flop.
