Default Fold Q,Q here? I never folded Q,Q in my life!

This is a 180 person sng. There were approximately 30 people left and top 18 paid. I was in 6th place at the time. The utg raiser in this hand had shown himself to be a donk, but I did not have any notes on the mp pusher. A call/push and I win and I am on top and in good position. A call/push and I loose and I am likely ootm. What would you have done?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

UTG+1 (t3600)
MP1 (t9745)
MP2 (t4820)
CO (t8565)
Button (t7610)
SB (t15185)
Hero (t13165)
UTG (t12720)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG+1 raises to t1600
MP1 raises to t9720 and is essentially all in

HERO ?

I need reads to fold this. With no reads and the first raiser being a donk my chips are in the middle.

You can't let this affect your decision here. Try and make the right/best decision regardless of how it affects you getting in or out of the money.

I might fold this if I thought MP was a good, very tight player.

can QQ be folded preflop - Yes

in this situation - No

why would MP overbet so much with a big stack and KK or AA ???

Because he has UTG+1 committed to the hand and doesn't want a multi way pot. If I'm MP I'm pushing AA and KK here.

I understand your point but why not just raise to 4K?
