Pocket Aces is 1% of the chick's range? What else does she bring it in full with? An no chance that she'll call with a big three-flush?

I'm going to advocate a fold here, mostly so I can contradict the Urge Overkill fan-boy. Your hand is dead, which is bad. I also think that it is very likely that you're up against at least one pair of Aces. In particular, I think an old guy is very likely to have pocket Aces to make it two bets after a decent (I presume) player brings it in full. Maybe he'd do it with pocket Queens, but there are twice as many ways he can have Aces as there are ways he can have Queens, and I think he'd be less inclined to raise with the Queens. And there's some chance that the chick has Aces or a set, right? This looks like it's going to be expensive. I'd look for a better spot.

I agree and also think an additional argument for folding is that you can't improve without them knowing it. You stand to win a medium size pot if you improve by 5th or can lose a large one if you get stuck in a race against Aces with your dead Ks.

Well funny thing about this is that if I am behind right now then they MUST have poocket aces(or rolled threes but id doubt that). I therefore know when they improve as well as they will have to pair a board card. He can't have kings, if she calls she does not have split 3's. Also to them my hand looks like QQ mostly and probably not a concealed PP. Also, either has QQ they have a dead card as well.

Lastly, i don't advocate calling at all here, 5 more players to act behind.

My 2 decisions are 3 bet bet to probably get the pot heads up agains OM or fold.
