Default Omnipotence please?

I’ve had another great 4 days off of work playing poker. I’m now $10 off of my goal for moving up stakes. But I lost a few big hands that put a dent in my earnings. I don’t have the hand particulars but I can give you the basic theme of the hands. I didn’t put this in the how would you have played this section because I think it is more of a general question.

Ok, on these 3 different hands it all went down the same exact way.

I had AA, KK, and QQ in these hands. I bet 4 x BB plus 1 x per limper PF. I then got one caller.
Flop came down all 3 cards rainbow and under ten. Also no pat str8 could have been made on flop either, only possible draw. I bet pot on flop and the other player comes over top with a big raise. I call or put them and/or I all in.
On first 2 hands they showdown trip 9’s and 6’s respectively, which they hit on the flop. The 3rd hand I folded my Q’s.

I guess my question is, do any of you fold these big prs on the flop to this aggression or do you chalk it up to bad luck and move on?

I want to know what you think because I think I might start folding here to super aggression with no read.

I could feel what they were telling me with the raise on all these flops. I just found it hard to lay down these over prs from a low board that looked this good. Do any of you guys fold here on the flop, thinking that you are beat by 2 pr, set, or higher pr to your K’s or Q’s? They could just as easily be over beating TPTK, though less likely IMO. This is a ring game not a turny, plus I have no read on these players.

It sounds like bad luck basically. If you get AA and u get a 3 7 9 flop rainbow, you raise they raise back, i cant fold my hand. Ive raised on those flops with bottom pair, thinking the origional raise had a good ace or something, and missed the flop. If you get raised they wont always have trips.

If i flopped 999 and u bet into me with AA, id slow play and let u bet more.

Default Yes, but

Exactly E, That's how I would play my spiked set. But I would put in a nice raise with 2 small pr. Because If another bigger card prs the board it negates my bottom pr and possibly has me a dog to a higher two pr. I would also raise with big pocket pr as to get you out of the hand before you draw-out on me.

And I'm not merely talking a raise, I'm talking a big raise.

Ex: I made pot bet of $5 and was raised $10 to $15.
