If you're cold 4 betting with a value hand you should already know your play if you get shoved on, which should be a call. If you don't want to get QQ in pre flop then just flat the 3 bet.

This is the same as the other hand vs the 85% VPIP fish. As Harvie says you really have to be right in your mind about where you're heading once you start 4 betting hands such as QQ.

There's nothing wrong with 3 bet folding QQ AK against certain opponents because we make so much more money when they defend by calling. But with 4 betting you're just wasting value by turning your hand into a bluff. If villain is never paying you off just call and play a pot. QQ will be an overpair on 2/3 of the flops you see, and you'll get great value.

Although this guy isn't as bad as the other guy he's still bad according to his stats so just go for it and be happy in the knowledge that this player type will often overvalue TT JJ and take this line.

I don't see any problem getting it in here. I assume ppl over play their hands alot in these kinda situations , without reads you cant think of folding. I don't see how flatting will bring you any good here as we are @ such an awkward spot assuming we are able to play post flop lol.

Instead, if UTG opens MP 3bets I would say flatting seems more attractive.
