6 players

Stack sizes:
UTG: $26.07
UTG+1: $29.33

Villain: $60.12
SB: $6.19
Hero: $28.31

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is BB with Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif
3 folds, Villain calls, SB calls, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $1.50</font>, Villain calls, SB folds.

Flop: 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif T/images/graemlins/club.gif ($3.25, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $2.70</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises to $11.35</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero ???</font>

Villain has flopitis and is 72/13 through 85 hands. His winnings have been coming from tussles with a 66/5 at the table. Villain is very aggressive post-flop, but hasn't yet shown down a hand he put in a raise postflop.

What action to take in this sort of situation is probably very standard for everyone on this forum, but I'm not yet comfortable.

What does villain's insta-mashing the raise pot button mean? Did villain hit this flop hard? Is shoving the right play here? Can I fold QQ?

Voluntary $ put into the pot/Pre-Flop Raise, both as a %.

In terms of the hand, I agree this is a very easy shove against this villian. In fact, I'll probably shove here against any unknown - doesnt at all look like the typical play of a set or AA.

I'm shoving here most of the time but with the understanding you are probably a coinflip if called, which I expect to be.
