Default $5(.50) SNG QQ in BB

A little history on the villain. Second hand in he calls a raise in front and a reraise from behind with A7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]s. Flopped a flush draw and called a 2/3 pot-sized bet from in front and a pot 2/3 pot sized raise from behind along with original bettor. Turn is a 7 and he pushes after a check gets called from behind and beats his KK when a spade comes on the river.

3 hands later I get QQ on the button. CO+1 calls and the villain in the SB min raises to T40. I make it T150, the limper folds, and the SB pushes all in. What do you do?

Jam the hell out of it as villain has 1010 or A10s at best.

Call and I don't think it's even close.

Insta-Call. At microlevels expect donks like this to make idiot plays--BUT--also expect really painful beats. Shrug them off and play again; in the end you'll be beating them for profit.

To think about folding you are putting him squarely on AA or KK, maybe AK and don't want to race?

How can you think that his jamming range is not quite larger than that?

Readless, a min raise / shove to a reraise is exactly AA or KK far too often for my liking and i would seriously consider folding depening on the stacks / blinds etc (but you wont hear that from anyone else so its probably best to ignore me)

I dont think im folding here though as, given that A7 hand, he really could have anything.

I've never folded QQ at the 5.50 level preflop and I doubt I ever will. . . the players are too bad to ever definitively put on exactly AA or KK enough of the time imo to make profitable. the best hand I've folded preflop at this level is JJ and I don't think my roi is hurting from not laying down QQ vs AA/KK compared to the times this is 99 or AJ
