    Not sure I even know how to respond. I don't like limping UTG with QQ, and I really don't like the re-raise after the raise and call. I assume the SB folded after the shove, but it's not clear from your post. If you call, I think you're probably flipping here at best.

    Next time just raise pre. You should get some better info and it won't cost you as much.

    The only reason to ever limp UTG with a hand like QQ is to encourage lighter raises, so you can trap and reraise. I would almost never do it with QQ, but I am assuming this was your logic behind it, seeing as you did reraise. Once you reraise, and you fold to his shove, you just turned QQ into air... terrible. Either flat call and see the flop, which is terrible OOP, or reraise and snap call a shove

    I would just raise pre and save you the trouble

    I don't think you can fold here unless you know you're playing against the tightest grandpa player in the world. Why did you limp again?
