Luckbox, Daryl Jace did an incredibly in-depth 9 part series on 3 betting in Sept 2014.

so when you say check the flop with hand like QQ this is contingent upon you acting first or someone checking in front of you ? What if someone raises before you after the flop of AK8 do you give up the hand?

Yes, I generally would not be looking to put any more money into the pot with QQ on an AKx flop, either by betting or calling. Of course this will occasionally result in my folding the best hand, but there’s no getting around that. Or rather, the price of getting around that, which is often putting in more money drawing to two outs, is too high.
It’s important to reassess the value of your hand after the flop. A good starting hand is just that: a start. It doesn’t guarantee you’ll have a hand worth playing after the flop. Sometimes the most profitable way to play a hand is to give up on it (though of course checking doesn’t always mean losing – sometimes you’ll check all the way to show down and win).

Thanks just learned a valuable lesson. So called monster hands does not guarantee anything. I have been burned with the exact same hand or hands similar such as KK JJ only to find out i did not improve on the flop which is why shoving these hands pre is probably more profitable going heads up because other opponents more than likely improved their hand post and river as well.. One hand which i refuse to dump post if i did not improve is AA.

This stuff is so good. I just watched this again after doing a few weeks of work and it just clicked so much better. I look forward to my 3rd pass in the future.
