I think that's a pretty easy call. He's almost never showing up with QQ+ here, he'll be raising less with those hands.

This almost looks to me like a small-mid pp. At those stakes alot of players shove with hands they don't want to showdown. Very easy call. I'd say at best 88-AJ-KQ. Easy call.

the more I think about it... it's probably not even that good... call call call...

Call this everytime...the times villain shows a small-mid pp or random paint will definitely outweigh the times he shows QQ+

Even donks want to play QQ+ slower than this. Thank him for the opportunity, call and sit back with a cigar.

I think the most common hand for villain here is AK. Other posters are right, in my limited experience that this is almost never QQ+.
