10 NL QQ on the button

[rh2020]

SB is 64/13/0.5 over 53 hands. MP3 is 34/3/1 over 34 hands.

Neither villain had a 4 here. I was going to call the first bet from SB, but I decided to fold with the min-raise. This seemed fishy to me, and the showdown proved it.

How would you play this?

I didn't even read the hand since you gave details that would not be known until the showdown.

Next time keep the results a secret so we can get a discussion going.

Raise more preflop (4xBB+1 per caller) at least $.70. If that doesn't get you a lot less callers (given it's $10NL), raise even more still.

As played, I don't really know what to say, your preflop play really muddies the water. MP3's stack size is a bit of a concern otherwise I'd push flop. Meh.
