Default QQ in extemely bizzare preflop dillema - please advise

Initial opener is tight, reraiser is solid as well but not really tight, 18/10 over 80 hands. My image is semi-lag as I've been raising a lot and have been pretty aggressive postflop as well.

Preflop isn't standard exactly, but I felt QQ had more value by calling preflop than reraising against villain's range.

BTN: 2,320
SB: 5,620
BB: 5,521
UTG: 5,375
UTG+1: 5,083
Hero (UTG+2): 7,180
MP1: 7,973
MP2: 2,933
CO: 3,160

Pre-Flop: (225) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (UTG+2)
<font color="red">UTG raises to 450</font>, UTG+1 folds, Hero calls 450, <font color="red">MP1 raises to 1,350</font>, 5 folds, UTG calls 900, Hero ...

What do you think of:

A) Shoving
B) Calling
C) Folding?
D) Other

What do you think of each? This spot is pretty rare and I was really confused on what to do.

preflop seems fine, i just jam now since your hand is underrepped and it looks like utg has a decent hand that you beat, and if MP1 has you beat, or UTG is trapping so be it

..You should have reraised pf and then you might have some better insight than my nostradamic advice...
So MP1 could probably have TT,JJ,QQ,KK,AA,AK. It's a close one. There are enough chips in the middle to allow for a push. Would calling to see a low flop be a bad idea? If you push you'll only get called by AK,KK,QQ and JJ maybe. I'd lean towards a call and re-eval on the flop.

people dont seem to 3bet utg raise and mp call with 1010, or JJ..I think fold.. unless i knew he was crazy aggro..but the call from 1st raiser is rather suspect IMO.. at least AK.. possibly AA,KK ..seems u are in a coinflip or dominated by one or the other.. no way the favorite.

agree, your hand is well disguised in this situation, IMO you are most likely still ahead of UTG and if MP1 has AA or KK so be it, i shove, pretty confident im ahead ina flip.
