1. Shove over the re-raise PF, fold flop as played.
2. Just call

It's a 6.50, if he has QQ beat, go broke everytime. Easy shove.
AK I mix between flatting, raising 3x and shoving (in a 6.50 I think you get called by inferior aces enough of the time).

As everyone has said i would never muck QQ to that donk line in a 6.5, AK i am always flatting at my level, I have no idea of 6.5 ranges and vers makes a good point about getting called by weaker As
