PS $22 QQ faces turn pressure OOP

Hi everyone,

I've recently moved up to the $22s, and am doing well there. I'm going to be posting a little more on here to make sure my postflop play is where it should be, so please bear with me if some of the plays are obvious (or obviously bad).

In this hand, we're at the 25/50 level, I have about 30 BB to start the hand.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t50 (9 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1175)
scorpion_nz (t1450)
MP1 (t1685)
MP2 (t2500)
MP3 (t1615)
CO (t1515)
Button (t1290)
SB (t930)
BB (t1340)

Preflop: Hero is in UTG+1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG folds, scorpion_nz raises to t150, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button calls t150, SB folds, BB folds

Flop: (t375) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
scorpion_nz bets t200, Button raises to t400, scorpion_nz folds

A fold here is standard right? Could I play this hand any differently?

Thanks for your help.

Sincerely,

scorpion_nz

you can check the flop but i do not dislike as u played it.

think this is quite standard, although i vary here somehow and check/raise the flop (and fold to a reraise obv.)which wins me nice pot sometimes.

I would seen weakness in this flop-bet if a regular/solid player bets only 1/2 pot..Would you mix it up against other regulars by doing this instead of the standard 2/3-3/4 pot-bet with f.ex AK?

I would make this play with AK as well, so I don't think I could be read for being weak here. Though the bet itself is a little weak. I don't think I'm going to get played back at too often with air here, am I?
