What should I do after I get raised?
Is calling better than shipping?
Or everything was completely standard?

Without reads I think its a bet fold on flop. I realize we block kk amd 1010 but this flop connects really well with your range and you've shown strength by cbetting. V's raise screams set which has us crushed or big combo draw which is flipping at best or free rolling at worst. I would need an OESD, a FSD, or 2 bd FSD to continue here.

Definitely not folding to a c/r OTF. Call and play poker on the turn. What really sucks is that we block QJ combos and nutwraps are the most likely semibluffing hands on this particular flop.

Yeah it's pretty gross having QQ, and the board being monotone really decreases the combos of semi-bluffs villain can have.

As for what to do after betting I don't particularly like bet folding this strong a hand as it makes you incredibly exploitable. Usually bet/ call. Shoving doesn't seem great your average equity against hands stacking off will be <50% for sure and you push out any bluffs villain may have (which he probably shouldn't have many X/r bluffs at all on this texture).

The thing about top two pair in plo on a board where there is no straight or flush is that sometimes it is a slam dunk stack off, and other times a trivially easy fold. In this situation because you are heads up I do not mind really stacking off, although you havent provided any info about your opponent, which would make this decision easier.
