I really think this is an easy fold. You're either already dead, nearly dead, nearly nearly dead, significantly behind or a marginal favourite. I think your raise on the flop is too large. Bump it up to $6-$7. It will have the same effect. SB is showing alot of strength and whilst I believe we have UTG beat(though he clearly has outs of some sort against your QQ), I think calling here is a mistake.

BTW, you are definitely not committed despite your large raise. You have nearly 60BB's behind.

Ugh, you have to call just on pot odds. But you're likely beat.

I think initial flop raise ($9.6) is too much. By my count pot is $6.85, you have $1.5 to call. Raise to $8 or so.

I actually think you're behind so often that I wouldn't call SB's raise, pot odds be damned.

The pot odds are really juicy, but i dont think you beat SB's range enough to make the call. Like everyone else says you should prolly just raise less.
