I found the hand.. I had KK. Not QQ.

I had a reliable read. One short stack player raised in MP, I called in the CO with KK and was about 75% sure the B would squeeze in that position. He did, the short stack called with 88 and I pushed.

If someone has squeezing almost as a default play, I fail to see how this would be bad even with JJ or QQ.

I flat from the button a lot with QQ+. It's not a bad option to mix in, especially if you flat with a lot of speculative hands as well and blinds are 3-betting more than just premiums.

If you're the type who 3-bets in position a lot, though, it's pretty terrible.

calling 1 raiser to induce a squeeze is perfectly fine and i have done this many times, however, overcalling a raise and a call with QQ is just way too optimistic imo. i think this player wasn't very agressive preflop and i guess he likes calling with big pairs, and it worked out well for him this time

Correct
You're much more likely to see a squeeze after a CO raise and a Button call than after an UTG raise and 2 calls.

Loose passive players love playing QQ that way because they suck. They don't want to 3bet pf because they will have no clue how to play when an A or K flops so they call pf to see if an A or K comes and if it doesn't they play it accordingly. But when they have a chance to get it AI pf they take it.
