    playing 1/2 NL live, get QQ at the cutoff it folds to me i make it 12, button folds both blinds call.

    stack sizes at beginning of hand:
    me: 500
    SB: 150-160
    BB: 400

    flop comes Qh-9s-8h

    with 36 in pot, SB leads out for 35, BB makes it 100 to go, what is my best option?

    no specific reads on either player, neither one is exceptional but neither is completely clueless either.
    if either has been paying attention at all my image should be pretty solid.

    Shove. Theres $171 in the pot already.

    There's a ton of pair+draw hands in their ranges and theres just no way you can call here as theres a ton of scare cards that could come on the turn. Folding is horrible, and even if you are up against JT, you have a decent number of outs to fill up by the river.
