Default TOUGH Spot with QQ in 55K. What would you do?

Both raisers in this pot recently moved to the table so no solid reads on either villain. What would you do?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t8000 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

BB (t526920)
UTG (t210148)
UTG+1 (t123072)
MP1 (t157908)
Hero (t194042)
MP3 (t191348)
CO (t141632)
Button (t129585)
SB (t129255)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to t24400</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises to t157908</font>, Hero??

Quite an overbet here. If he had AA/KK would he really want to shut out raiser? $70,000 sounds like a reasonable reraise. This sounds like 55-JJ/AJ-AK. I go all in here.

I'd push here as well, not at all afraid of MP1's all-in.. This really looks like 99-JJ, AKish... If UTG+1 has something, well, it's a cold deck.

Just as a follow up..I would need a ridiculoud read to fold QQ at this point of a tournament PF.

I know that the standard rule has become never fold KK preflop except in very extreme tournament situation (i.e. sattelite bubble), but I personally have just extended the rule to include QQ until my BR gets a lot bigger. The 10R is a bit above my BR, but I'm pretty sure you won't get into to much trouble just never folding QQ preflop in the 10R.

Due to the stck sizes, I think AA/KK is possible. However, you can't fold QQ to a single reraise, particularly in teh $10 rebuy.

The fact that you are even thinking about it shows that you are playing weak/tight. You can't fold anything but AA/KK to a reraise.
