Not becuase I usually look for straight flushes to flat call, but becuase I often think that it sets off lots of red-flags when you check call a raise and reraise.

I've seen people call with weaker than QQ to a push there, but I've also seen people not very alarmed at the flat call. Just wondering how you usually play it.

This is how I remember the situation. The guy with the QQ had just lost a big pot a few hands earlier and was playing very recklessly seemingly on tilt. I also knew that the third guy in the hand had likely noticed this too. So by calling the raise and reraise I was hoping to drag him in, it didn't work though.
Generally I agree that when someone calls a raise and a re-raise after checking it shows a lot of strength and its not uncommon that a monster hand would be played that way, but against this particular opponent I was pretty sure he would pay me off no matter how I played it assuming that he had something half way decent.
