Default Too weak with QQ?

.50/$1 NL. Full ring.

Hero is MP2 with $90, Villain is CO with $120.

1 limper, Hero raises to $5, villain raises to $15, limper folds, Hero calls.

Flop: J,8,2 rainbow. Hero checks, Villain bets $20, hero folds.

You were at the table, not us. Without reads, how do you expect us to give even half-decent responses?

No one?

C'mon. I like the way I played it. I think the pf call would be o.k. with any pp, just for the impied odds when I make my set. But I swear, the longer I play, the more convinced I become that, without a read, there are only 2 hands worth playing post flop after a pf re-raise.

I'm not going anywhere...I like calling and leading turn/ fold to a raise. Of course a read would really help here.

weaksauce. Bet/three-bet flop or check raise allin.

What kind of flop (besides a set) are you looking for with QQ if not this one?

I dont hate it against the right opponent i.e. someone like PAV at my limits. But I need a good read to play it this weak.
