Live tourney QQ early

Ok this hand is from a live tournament.

2nd blind level, known opp.s:
UTG avg. stack
MPx(Hero) avg. stack
BB(villain) avg. stack

PF: Hero is sitting in MP (9handed table) with QQ
UTG raises 2BB, folds, Hero reraises to 5-6 BB, folds, BB calls, Utg calls.

BB is a rich blonde girl about 25yrs, she made a phone call earlier, which I could hear so I know that she is playing to have fun (and that she has never even considered hard work to become rich). Considering these She will have KJ+ AT+ 22-JJ. //I thoght

Flop: J 6 2 of different colours.
BB raises //so she has AJ KJ or QJ, because she would try to trap with sets, would have raised preflop with stronger pairs and there are no possible draws.
Utg folds, Hero raises a big one, Utg re reraises //I would bet a lot that she has AJ and sometimes KJ
Hero goes all-in, Utg calls.

Any ideas about tha hand as played or what she had??
I tell you she had -->> J6o <<--

what's the average stack? in bbs? because going broke with an overpair with 20bb is way diferent than going broke with 250bb.

anyway I think you should reraise utg way bigger. 5-6BB is definetly too small. I guess flop is standard against rich blondie that will push any jack there.

Guess you are right, avg. stack = 30M. Now I know that was too small, but I didn't want to risk too much preflop in early stage, weak aces are easier to be folded if the fish doesn't like the flop. I didn't think about J6 as a possible hand to be played after a reraise. What is her maximum hand to fold here?

with 30M i'll go for 4-5,5,xUTG open raise (4 if table is tighter 5,5 if players are looser)

in live poker you should really raise more against these fishes to cut out those J6o 49s hands.
as played it really depends on avrg stack, and her playing style...
after you raise her and she reaises again it is really close but with avrg stack i go broke there against mrs. fish all day long (ok with 250BB its a different story)
