Default Stars $11 x 180, QQ, Call 3rd Raise Preflop?

I usually won't lay down QQ preflop for one reraise but here I raised over an MP raise and then got raised by the button.

Not much of a read on the button since I've only been at the table for a short while, but he was active in a few hands with suspect holdings and had a -50% ROI on sharkscope. He probably didn't notice I've been tight but he had to have noticed MP2 and I both had big stacks.

Can anybody find a fold preflop considering this or do I have to stick them in there?

If that is villain's range, you are 40% against his range, which is ahead of the pot odds you are getting.

I think you have to call against an unknown in a $10 tournament, because there is some possibility he is making a maniac play with whatever. Also, the push looks less dangerous than a bet size tell like minireraising.

this is quite diff than him 3betting and this post is him cold 4betting. Plus the diff of QQ and KK is significant as that hand is a lot more likly to be in his range when you hold KK.

Isn't the line, "the third raise is AA or KK"?
