Default QQ: 3bet in front of me preflop.. cold call?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

SB ($192.20)
Hero ($101.10)
UTG ($103.50)
MP ($100)
Button ($96.95)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to $3</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $11</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls $10, MP calls $8.

Flop: ($33.50) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, MP checks, Button checks.

Turn: ($33.50) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $20</font>, MP calls $20, Button folds.

River: ($73.50) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, MP checks.

MP is 28/18/1.25 and Button is 38/30/3.63, both through about 100 hands. Button has 3bet before and I haven't seen MP 4bet yet. So i cold called?

How do you proceed postflop if you just call preflop?

OOP against players with these stats, I am probably ahead of each of their ranges and not wanting to play QQ OOP against two opponents whose hole cards aren't so well defined. So, while calling certainly isn't bad here, 4-betting and picking up the pot here is probably best.

Checking flop here is fine.
Turn is standard.
River - w/o read, bet. If you think button is going to bluff on whiffed flush / whatever, then checking may not be so bad. But mostly, just bet.

4 bet pf 100% to a 3 bet from a 38/30.

not really sure how to play this hand calling preflop, because I'd almost never play it this way. Checking the flop seems fine. Bet more on the turn. Check/Call River.

turbo 4bet preflop given the 3bettor's stats. then more on the turn and i like c/c river. he's going to vbet a lot of the hands that you're trying to get paid off by anyway, so no need to bloat the pot.
