Poker Stars, $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: $11.45 (114.5 bb)
BB: $13.10 (131 bb)
UTG: $23.76 (237.6 bb)
MP: $12.60 (126 bb)
Hero (CO): $10.56 (105.6 bb)
BTN: $7.67 (76.7 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with J J
UTG raises to $0.30, MP folds, Hero calls $0.30, BTN calls $0.30, 2 folds

Flop: ($1.05) Q Q 6 (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $0.50, BTN folds, UTG raises to $1.10, Hero folds

Preflop: Could 3bet or call. Decided to call vs unknown.

Flop: The openner decided to check and since I have the best hand very often, I decided to bet. Probably the size should be bigger because I could get calls from some lower pocket pairs anyway. When the UTG decided to raise, I'm not sure what does it mean, but since he is unknown, I assume that he is very strong there and Qx is very possible. Should I call and check back/fold the turn?

You should call against such a small raise. You have position and probably the best hand.

Pre-flop, I believe call and 3-bet are both fine. Out of interest, what do you do if there's a squeeze behind?

OTF is a bit tricky, because x/r 3w should show a better hand than yours, but you're only being asked to pay $0.60 for a $2.65 pot. So I guess the question is, is this a bluff at least 20% of the time (or even a bit less than that as you have a 4% chance of improving OTT). My guess would be an unknown player hardly ever takes this line as a bluff (on a totally dry board), so I think fold is best. I don't think your alternative line (call and check back or fold the turn unless you hit a J) would be stupid though.

I'm probably peeling given the price and the lack of Qx combos in an unknown's UTG raising range.

However, I'm also not really happy about calling down to showdown - so a fold is definitely not terrible.

Basically just call and bink a J.
