You're either a big dog (v AA / KK) or a small favourite (v AK).

Fold, not the place for QQ. You also aren't closing the action, so unfortunately villian can also go all in making you fold / put you in a worse spot.

call

An ugly spot as Peleus says, cut your loses and wait for a better spot. Sucks to muck QQ preflop but [censored] happens.

probly going to get 4-1 odds.. I think i call

You have a weak/tight button reraising an UTG raiser. I think you can fold here.

The pot's offering 4:1 immediate odds, 5:1 if shorty comes in. If he shoves, that puts button to a decision before I have to decide (I would fold if button played). I only considered folding at all because of the volatile short stack behind me. The real consideration in my mind is calling for set value in a four way pot or trying to play some poker after the flop. 4-betting is probably awful here, though, and I don't see anyone advocating that.

This is a -EV call/4 bet against these players. Why get into a pot when you know your at best a 54% favorite? This is a cash game not a tourny right?

[GiantBuddha]

Because his 3-bet was too small and a fourth player came in giving me excellent odds to hit a set and stack someone with a very strong second best hand. I certainly don't want to play for stacks unimproved with this guy, though.

You can't fold here. Period.
