    Further to this, what 3bets then check-calls the flop here?

    I don't c/c the flop with QQ or KK, since there's plenty of AKs that I don't want to get passive with when I own them and give them a chance to freeroll me for a suckout. I guess if I held Kc that makes AcXc unlikely.

    There are 6 combos of AK that we are splitting with, but does AK call here? If I wasn't check-folding or bet-folding AK here OOP I'd be check-raising. Check-calling is just too odd.

    Maybe JJ and TT are check-calling too?

    That only really leaves 3 combos of KK that might slowplay and try and rep KQ/JJ to suck AQ out, and 3 combos of QQ that crush us. But if we're going to give KK credit for slowplaying on a 2-flush board then surely we've also got to include AA, and I would be loathe to slowplay QQ here with the flush looming. Perhaps AcAx and KcKx do slowplay here, since KcXc and AcXc other than AK are unlikely.

    This hand confuses me.
