Default Trip Q\'s - No Kicker - Multiway Pot

1-2 NL cash game, poker club, fairly loose. You have a stack of maybe +/-300, 325. You are Hero, you put up a live $4 straddle UTG (for those of you not familiar, this is like an extra big blind which may exercise an option to raise if the bet is still $4 when it gets back around to straddler. The minimum bet is in effect now $4). 5 players call the straddle, you have Qh4h, you check your option.

6 players, pot = $25 or so.

Flop QQ5 rainbow, one heart. One player checks to you, you lead out for $12. Three players call, pot $70 going to turn.

Turn, irrelevant suit K. You lead for $30. Folded to a Villian you have played once before, He lost that session playing loose, but has a general rep as tight, and has stack of maybe $400 here. Villian makes it $93.

You call (thoughts?). Pot $256.

River, 2. Board QQ5K2. You check (thoughts?). Villian asks for pot to be spread, ponders, fires out $125. As Hero, you .... ?

Most ppl here (especially who frequently post) play 6max. So they prolly never have the situation w/ 6 callers see the flop.
I think you should either fold to turn raise or call down. I'd fold but I never ran into something like this before.

Live play's a bit different unfortunately, as underground club-goers can attest. The pot's 4 way going to the turn and heads up going to the river, so the only relevance 6 players has is that it can increase the range of hands in preflop and thus make the likelihood of the case Q being there to give action.

Straddle pots in live play tend to become very loose and idiotic.

Fold. I dont like this spot one bit. Who knows wtf villain has here, but I am fairly certain you are beat with the strength he has shown.
