Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero is BB with Q Q
1 fold, MP raises to $0.04, 3 players fold, Hero 3-bets to $0.16, MP calls $0.12

Flop: ($0.33) T T 4 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.16, MP calls $0.16

I can't see him having a worse hand than QQ here...
Would you call in these spots?

What would be the difference between you paying $0.32 OTT and folding OTR VS you betting $0.32 and folding to a raise from villain? Imo, the difference would be that you'd fold knowing that you were behind. As played I am not sure you'r behind when folding...I can see AJo, TT, 99(...) with a diamond putting pressure on you after your check OTT.

In this kind of spots, I often go for Cbetting the value I would pay (or a little less) and fold if raised, but I accept arguments that I am inflating some pots where I could get to a cheaper showdown with "marginal hands", or keeping in play only hands that beat me.

Tricky hand, but I prefer to Cbet the turn for value and protection. If villain raised it's easier to fold and now you playing a guessing game.
