*no stats, because I don't use the HUD*
I wasn't sure about this hand at all.
PF - his squeeze was big, 5.5x, so I wasn't sure in the first place if I should call it down or not. What do you think about this spot?
OTF - His cbet was around 60% and even though I had a FD, it wasn't the strongest - he still could have had the Ac or the Qc, so I decided to fold.
What do you guys think?

I think you should squeeze pre yourself. Villains sqz is not so big considering that there is 3 players already in the pot and he is OOP, I would have squeezed even bigger. As played I'm not sure if we should call pre. Fold OTF is good. He can have QQ+ and villain can have Qc or Ac.

Yes.... Another missed opportunity here. With calling you create a perfect spot for active villain to squeeze you there.
You have a good hand, squeeze, man.
Villain's squeeze is small, in fact...
I am ok with the fold.

In the video section you'll find a video on the subject of pocket queens and jacks. Queens & Jacks played correctly!

Squeeze of course.

Then as played, the preflop call and fold is good. It's quite likely that he holds a better :club:. It is also possible that you are ahead versus a very squeeze happy guy (the situation will - to him - look perfect to squeeze with nearly any 2). With the knowledge that he is squeeze happy, I might float once here.
