Default $225: Fold QQ pf in L1?

The utg raiser is a pretty solid reg. The button is a noob so I don't have much of a read on him. What do you think?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1500)
UTG+1 (t1500)
Hero (t1500)
MP2 (t1530)
MP3 (t1480)
CO (t1250)
Button (t1820)
SB (t1420)
BB (t1500)

Preflop: Hero is in MP1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="red">UTG raises to t60</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, Hero calls t60, <font color="gray">MP2 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP3 folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="red">Button raises to t240</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>, <font color="red">UTG raises to t1500 (All-in)</font>, <font color="gray">Hero?</font>

I'd hate it, but I'd fold. Why no reraise originally?

Because the utg raiser is a pretty solid player and figures to be raising with a very tight range. Probably something like JJ+ (maybe TT) &amp; AK.

i fold.

in general, since you did not reraise preflop, and assuming UG knows you, he can be pretty confident your calling range does not include AA/KK.

so depending on his read of the button, i think ug's range can include AK and a very rare QQ. but i still can't believe a solid 225'er would push with JJ/TT or AQ, so you need to fold.

If UTG is good, then easy fold.

I see. All around nice play then, but nevertheless frustrating to throw away QQ preflop.
