How would you play this 200bb effective?
Preflop SB squeeze vs UTG and a call and I have QQ on the BB... decided to flat, I believe it is too strong to fold.
Then MP who called UTG open 4bets to 3x... It looked like a re-squeeze move after my weird cold call. The thing is that I believe I have the best hand here. AA/KK should 3bet UTG in the first place.

Would you 5bet here preflop? I don't think it makes much sense after my cold call.
Postflop I think there's nothing I can do but to call. Board is not dangerous.
MP is 23/17, but I have a small sample, other stats are clueless.

This is a tough spot especially as you are playing deep. I think your best line would have been to 4b pre and even look to make a nitty fold , I agree you would expect mp to be 3bing utg's opn with AA/KK but i think every now and then you will see players taking this line with these premiums...

I usually don't 3bet QQ vs UTG in HU pot and I know the cold call is strange.
I understand the 4bet/fold line you mentioned against SB squeeze. Being deep, I can still fold to the 5bet.
Thank you.

Hi,

I like to make it easy for myself and 4bet / fold pre.
As played I can see sometimes AA, KK in MP's range, on the flop he made a bet to which you can't fold, and on the turn you can't fold either - where I believe he had AA, KK?
