Opponents are unknown and have very little info on them.
UTG 78 hands 30/21 vpip/pfr EP open 33% (1 out of 3 hands this one)
HJ 16 hands 56/38 vpip/pfr 3 bet vs EP 33% (1 out of 3 hands also this one!)
We are 49bb deep and that's effective stack also.
I decided to cold call here pre flop and extract more value post flop instead of 4 bet jamming.

Questions for judges:
In vacuum what is your default play here? In the pot there is already 345 dead money I have 1470 so more than 20% of my stack is there, risk to reward ratio is great.
Would you ever cold call QQ here and play them post flop the way I did?

Appreciate it

SB ($1,326)
BB ($1,605)
UTG ($1,644)
UTG+1 ($1,450)
Hero ($1,470)
BTN ($1,505)

Dealt to Hero Q♣ Q♦

UTG raises to $90, UTG+1 raises to $210, Hero calls $210, fold, fold, fold, UTG calls $120

FLOP ($675) 8♦ T♦ 5♠

UTG checks, UTG+1 bets $660, Hero raises to $1,260 (AI), UTG folds, UTG+1 calls $580 (AI)

TURN ($3,155) 8♦ T♦ 5♠ 3♣

RIVER ($3,155) 8♦ T♦ 5♠ 3♣ 4♠

Spoiler

UTG+1 shows 8♠ A♦ (Pre 29%, Flop 23.7%, Turn 11.4%)Hero shows Q♣ Q♦ (Pre 71%, Flop 76.3%, Turn 88.6%)Hero wins $3,155

I prefer jaming here for two reasons - first utg+1 seems the kind of guy who would never fold AT+ or 88+ here with these stats, whereas he might do that postflop if he misses and there is one/two overcards, adn second utg also seems a bit fishy and he might also decide to flat getting the odds after we flat, which is not too bad of course, but QQ will loose a lot of its strength in 3 way pot..

Yeah, ship all day, everyday. It's a 6-max game and you have 2 loose fishes looking for action. We crush their ranges.

Gavron's reasoning is really good.
