1/2 Live QQ easy fold?
 

This is about my 4th or 5th hand at the table. Villan is a LAG on the button who I've played with before. He usually shows down an equal mix of solid and terrible hands usually becoming more laggy with position. Stacks are
Hero: $300
Villan: $150

Hero dealt QQ's UTG. Pretty aggressive table so I figure limp re-raise would be the best here. Two limpers, mp1 raises to $6, two callers and Villan raises to $25 SB & BB fold. I pop to $75 fold around to Villan who thinks a bit then calls.

Flop is A rag rag. Hero checks, Villan checks. Turn is another rag. Hero checks Villan pushes all in for his last $85. Hero?

a. What do you think about limp re-raising pre flop?
b. Was the turn check too passive?

I wouldn't fold very often after putting half my stack in preflop, but its tough to see something you beat outside of maybe JJ/TT

I don't like LRR in general, especially with QQ

There is a difference between limp reraising, and limp 4 betting. Here, there was a raise and reraise behind you.

Your bet is supposed to be Aces. Maybe once in awhile Kings.

Since you made the move, bet the last part of your stack in the dark before the flop hits. Better yet, check raise all in preflop. Make it look like it could be AK and hopefully get TT or JJ to call.

i think you played this hand perfect but i hope to god you called in a flash because
1: he is a LAG who gets laggier in position
2: you've checked twice, a perfect way to play this and induce the bluff
3:there's over $235 in the pot. you only have to be right about 1 in 4 times
