Default QQ in 2nd position in level 1

This is not my hand, but I think it is interesting. I will present it in stages. $100 MTT, blinds 10/20. Original stacks 3K. You have 2910 and raise UTG+1 to 60. BB with 2850 reraises to 200. What do you do?

OK, hero calls. Maybe that isn't controversial.

Flop is JhJdTd. Hero has QhQd. BB checks. What does hero do?

This is an awesome flop to check. You're way ahead or way behind, and best of all, a Q may let you stack AK. Can't imagine any rationale for betting against a preflop reraiser here.

OK, hero actually bets 200 and BB checkraises to 500, 300 more. What should hero do?

I guess everyone thinks the half pot bet is pretty bad. I am not hero. Actually, this would have been an interesting hand from BB's perspective.

OK, the Turn is 8d for JhJdTd8d. Hero has QhQd. BB bets 820 into 1400 pot with 1300 behind. What does hero do?

What a ridiculously bad turn line.

I guess you have to fold now? He prob has quads.
