    Default Slowplaying QQ OOP vs. nit and 2 limptards

    PFR is multitabling and running about 8/6 in a sample of 40ish hands.

    How bad is it to try to trap here? Obviously standard is to 3-bet and get it in vs. his estimated range of TT-AA, AK. The limpers were running about 40/10 35/0 so far. MP2 did some donk flop/fold OOP vs. PFRers earlier.

    I'm not really worried about PFR as I think we can get it in on a lot of flops, if he has KK-AA so be it. If he has AK I lose value from if he flops nothing, we also lose value from his underpairs if it's a bad flop. However, there's a chance to stack the limpers when they make a bad 1 pair or flop some draw.

    I didn't consider the fact that the BB, who was very tight, would come along...

    my instinct would probably just be to squeeze shove here. assuming people are going to call a flop cbet, you only have ~48% for no overcards on the flop+turn, and with that many people in the hand, id imagine that theres at least one A and one K in play. if people stick till the river, you only have ~40% for no overcard. I havent actually run the numbers on this, but i presume it is at least a marginal call, especially keeing in consideration boards with all undercards when someone catches their set. i dont really think QQ has as good implied odds, just because qs are big cards, and you would be killing three of them, so unless someone hits a K or an A, theyre probably not going to play to value bets. by shoving, you still earn yourself a pretty nice pot for that stage of the tourney, and in worse case, someone calls you with a hand like AK, in which case, you still have ~60% to win

    By doing this you are giving amazing express/implied odds for the openlimpers, making their play more correct than if you had just raised, plus you will be OOP after the flop. There's a reason why raising is standard here.
