UTG: 54/44 (57 hands)
MP: 21/8 (52 hands)

UTG is opening very wide. But MP seems to be a tight reg with 3bet of 6%.
I don't know if MP picked up on the loose opens from UTG.
I think with QQ in the best case I have coin flip and I didn't feel like gambling.
WDYT, is the fold -EV? If so, raise to 22bb and call a shove?
I think flatting is out of question, isn't it?

PokerStars - $0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players

UTG: 117.5 BB
MP: 130 BB
Hero (CO): 150.5 BB
BTN: 32.5 BB
SB: 159.5 BB
BB: 74.5 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has Q♦ Q♣

UTG raises to 3 BB, MP raises to 9 BB, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold,

Sample sizes are small, but in a 6 handed game folding QQ to a 3bet seems really tight. I would most likely just go for it and if villain has better it's pretty much a cooler.

How much do you raise here? 2.5x, so 22.5bb?

MP's range is probably something like TT+, AJs+, AQo+, KQs and sometimes also A5s-A4s...

You are right, I am not in the worst shape here.

you shouldn't be calling here so you can only play 4bet or fold.

The way to construct a 4bet range here is to think about his potential 3bet range, and then 4bet 40-50% of it. So if UTG open raises 15%, and the MP player is 3betting 4%, you might only want to 4bet a 2% range (QQ+, AK). Facing an allin, you will then have to reevaluate whether QQ Is strong enough to stack off or not. (Definitely a fold vs 2 all-ins, and you can consider going all-in vs a looser guy who's jamming QQ and AK, but fold vs tighter guy)
