Default my worst nightmare, QQ OOP

I think I hate playing QQ OOP more than anything else. Here's a hand that shows why:

.50/$1 FR. It's my 2nd hand at the table, I'm SB with $99. Button has $95.

I have QQ. 4 limpers. Button raises to $7. I usually just call in this situation, because I hate playing big pots OOP with vulnerable hands. But I always get flamed for not 3-betting, so I decided to try it for a change. I raise to $20, button calls.

Flop: 9,J,2. I bet $30, button calls.
Turn: T. WTF do I do now?

Calling from the SB there would be so incredibly gross. Please don't do ever that.

And yes, arr you can eat on the turn.

AJ, AK, FD (dont remember suits). we have an overpair and a OESD, that's generally a good thing.

i guess what i'm saying is if AA/KK/set didn't raise that flop i dont see how the call the turn push and that's good for us. if he called that flop w/ AJ then he's calling the turn since he's a donk.

I understand where you are coming from but you showed strength pf and on flop..you have an overpair and 8 draws to the near nuts...I really think once you have decided to play this hand the most +EV is to lead here and if you get stacked to reload....who wouldn't shove after your lead with a set or KQ?

Yeah if you are scared here you may be playing too high of stakes.
