Bodog 5/10 QQQ what's my action?

I'm holding QQ in SB. There's 2 limpers and a solid player raises to $45 from the button. I call, MP calls. 3-way pot, and I have everyone covered.
Flop comes A-Q-5 rainbow. It gets checked around. Turn comes a 6 of hearts, putting 2 hearts out there (the 5 is a heart). I lead for $120 into a $160 pot, MP folds, button raises it up to $360 without hesitation. Button has around $550 behind. What's my action? Also, state your reasons why. Button probably sees me as a solid LAG.

A. call
B. min re-raise to $600 ($240 more)
C. re-raise to more than $600 without putting him all-in (between $240 more and $550 more)
D. go all-in ($550 more)

hero is obviously ready to play for stacks?
His line seems kind of weird, the possible holdings I could see here are AA and AQ (well perhaps a lower set as well) both having 4 different combinations here? Axh seems unlikely as I would expect him to bet the flop a lot of times, not totally unlikely though. 78h would probably make sense trying to scare weakish A's away.

Either way, I will go AI, he has a strong hand and we dont want to give the possibly existing flush draw to hit his 7 outer not to mention oesfd with 13 outs. Also sets up nice plays for future with strong draws.

Well, you want that last $550, and you want it in the pot now. I think he has AQ or AA but it's not impossible that he has 2 hearts or even air.

If he has air... I doubt you get any more into the pot unless you call and river non-heart connects him (say he has 99 and river is 9)...well that's not exactly air, but 3rd pair on a AQXX board... pretty air like.

If think if you re-raise less than all-in and he's decent he is probably going to fold only worse hands. If you push, he might think you are bluffing and call with a worse hand. In anycase - you are probably golden unless he has AA ("that's poker").

Pings' point about maskarova is good too.

I'd push. If you don't, what's your plan for getting all the money in, pushing the river? Being out of position, I see the turn 3-bet as the better choice. There's just too many cards that can either a) beat you, or b) kill your action on the river. Reraising a trivial amount never appealed to me, as it's clear to any smart opponent that all the money is going in to see a showdown, but a drawing hand isn't forced to pay all the money since on 5th street he already knows his fate.

With villain's raise, pot size is up to $640. You have to put in $700 more if you push, putting the pot size up to $1340. With $550 behind, villain is getting nearly 2.5 : 1 to call here. I think villain calls here with a pretty wide range, making your decision pretty easy.

Another thing you may want to consider is what villain is thinking about you. He raises with 2 limpers in front. Solid LAG calls from the SB which will probably become a multiway pot. Range for you is wide. You check the flop (you are the most likely to check a huge hand here, but that's a different story), other 2 check. Lots of weakness going around. You lead out, probably taking a stab at the pot, and he fires a large bet at you. Either he has something big, perhaps a big draw (if it's even possible to have a big draw when a lot of money goes in on the turn), or he doesn't have anything and you aren't getting anymore money from him. His check-behind on the flop could mean many things, from simply slowplaying a huge hand, to having something but wanting to moderate the pot size on a pretty drawless board, to genuinely having a weak hand that he doesn't want to c-bet against 2 opponents here.

In any case, I think a push is the best play here hands down...

I went with D. I really didn't see any other choice. He let his timer wind all the way down before folding. He later told me he folded AQ, thinking I had hit a set on the turn.
This is definitely not my standard line- normally I would re-raise preflop, lead flop, and push turn, but if I had done that I woul nt have had a hand worth posting.

Do you really think he folded AQ?

I'd believe KK before I'd believe AQ
