NL25: Raise, ReRaise and I have QQ...?

I was wondering, with no reads or stats what do you do with QQ on the button facing a raise (4BB) from MP and reraise from the CO (14BB)? Assuming 100BB effective stacks.

Tough question, but as played, in the BB, I raise to 50BB and fold to a shove. Calling leaves you OOP for the remainder of the hand, in which case, you're 1.6-1 to see an Ace or King on the flop which would almost force a fold. If you see no Ace or King on the flop, you still fear the pocket AA or KK here, so you're still stuck with nothing. Gotta figure out where you are before your only alternative is to take a guess at the expense of your whole stack.

Also, if you read poker books much, Phil Gordon says that "The 4th raise is always Aces". You'd be the fourth raise, so you'd be forcing the 5th raise. If calls, or raises, you have no doubt what he has, and you at least save half your stack.
