Default Can you fold QQ pre-flop?

There are 1000 people left in a $215 tourny. 700 get paid ($315 is
700th, $160,000 is 1st).

You've got 10,000 in chips, the BB is 600.

Dealt red queens in late position.

UTG (9000 chips) min raises to 1,200.

Mid Position (MP) bigstack (20,000 chips) re-raises to 2,400.

Fold to you. There is still the Cut-off, Button and blinds yet to play
behind you. You were just moved to the table and have no reads on the
opposition.

What is the best play here?

I can't fold QQ this short without a solid read that the re-raiser will only do this with KK+.

I folded QQ once pf to a 3way all in before any action got to me.

The 3 players had JJ, AK, and another AK

There's a UTG min raise and another minimum raise. I think one of these fools is holding AA/KK quite a high % of the time.

The answer to the question is "yes," you can fold QQ preflop in some situations. This certainly isn't one of them. Push.
