I think you played this fine. I believe QQ will still dominate villains sqz range. OTF villain can have some nut draws with overs or TT,JJ too. So going broke seems reasonable to me.

Why?

(And in response to your reply that will most likely say "because it is a 4-bet pot", I ask again, why so in 4-bet pots? )

Cause we pot commit with bigger bet.

I agree, we do. But betting smaller puts us in an awkward spot if raised. Now we have a decision we perhaps wish we wouldn't have to face. Maybe confident players (in their own ability to guess villains hand) should raise small, and the dofuses like me should bet slightly bigger?

I think if you are ready to stack , you can bet bigger.

I think I am ready, and don't want to get funny ideas mixing up my head if raised. I agree it is close to consider bet-folding. KK or JJ would be easier to play.

Well, If you are stacking off, then you have a clear decision to bet bigger.
If not - I prefer the smaller bet.

Calling preflop is bad, imo, even with QQ. We will be OOP postflop, without initiative in a big pot (possibly multi-way). It would also suck if someone 4bets.

We do not want a mw pot with our QQ. We should squeeze.

Ah, I haven't had my morning coffee yet, making me stupid.

I think we have to call if button pushes. It is different if UTG pushes (with BU still in there to act). Not sure though, preflop is not my ballpark.
