    3 players have shown pre-flop aggression in a game where re-raises are often at least AK/JJ. Without more information on their raising standards, QQ no good.

    I fold QQ preflop in that spot. With a bet and 2 raises in front of you QQ is behind quite a bit here.

    Fold is the best option, but calling is still viable. If you hit the flop, you win a nice pot. If not you can fold.
