Default QQ in BB

I usually play higher and there this is an insta-call almost always because players normally doesnt just push here with AA and KK.

Have been at the table less for 2 orbits, no read on Villian.

100bb ($200) stacks.

1/2, 6-players

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
1 fold, CO raises to 7, 2 folds, Hero raises to 22, CO pushes, Hero..?

And what do you do with:

1. AKo
2. AQs
3. JJ
4. TT

I make it atleast 26 preflop and fold all those hands without any info on the player.

With no history and no reason for villain to think we are 3-betting light, I only call QQ-AA/AKs and sometimes AKo, depending on how I'm feeling.

Haven't been playing at all lately, so my finger is definitely not on the pulse of these games. That said:

I feel players at these stakes might shove KK here due to "Ace Magnet Syndrome", but probably not AA. I would assume AK is his most likely holding.

I'm a wuss until I get a feel for the table - I'd fold AQ, probably fold AK (sacreligous I know, but I doubt you dominate him and probably are flipping coins), and call the pairs to stack off an overpair/TPTK vs a lucky set.

It's really the no history/read situation that makes me not want to go broke before the flop with a queen in my hand.
