    Default $16 turbo Stars: QQ , I'm confused

    This is a situation that arises from time to time, and I dont know what to do.
    I didnt really have a read on opp, but he seemed to been playing tight this far. When he reraised me prf I had a feeling I was up against AA or KK. But I thought it could also be a donk with AK, AQ or even JJ, so I decided to take the good pot odds and see a flop. When there was no K or A on the flop, I felt there was a possibility that opp had missed, so I bet out acting first. When he reraised me, I was pretty sure he had AA or KK, but on the other hand, theres also a chance thats its a donk with Ax or JJ. I decided not to take the chance and folded.
    Should I play this hand differently at any point? Thoughts? I'm sooo confused about this hand.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    MP2 (t1560)
    MP3 (t1445)
    CO (t1435)
    Button (t815)
    SB (t1420)
    BB (t2080)
    UTG (t1690)
    UTG+1 (t1600)
    Hero (t1455)

    Preflop: Hero is MP1 with Q, Q.
    UTG calls t50, 1 fold, Hero raises to t150, MP2 raises to t350, 5 folds, UTG folds, Hero calls t200.

    Flop: (t825) 9, 6, 3 (2 players)
    Hero bets t300, MP2 raises to t1210, Hero folds.

    Final Pot: t2335

    i push preflop.

    i get allin somehow on the flop.

    queens are too good to fold in low stakes online tournaments, especially with only 1 person reraising.

    I see your point. But when opp has seemed tight this far, isnt the chance very slim that he's pushing into me on the flop with a hand worse than mine?

    I think thats why I'm so confused about this hand: I had a slight idea that this guy was tight and that he would only pull this move with AA or KK, but I hadnt really seen him play more than a couple of hands, so I wasnt at all confident in my read.

    So when in doubt about my read I should end allin here?

    Your problem in the hand was that you could not put your opponent on a hand.
    If you think he has AA,KK fold preflop
    If you think he doesnt push the flop

    I would have called the PFR and pushed the flop

    I fold preflop unless I know that the other guy is a maniac. What hands does he reraise so small with? AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AK? Most likely is KK and AA and this early I'd be willing to let my 150 chips go (bad odds to chase set). I have made this exact fold before with QQ and I will do it again.

    you're being inconsistent.

    if you think he has KK/AA then fold preflop
    if you think he doesn't then push the flop.

    me, I take the 2nd option
