QQ in difficult situation

Really not an uncommon situation. Villain is a tight and good player with VP$IP of 11%. What should hero do here? Perhaps I should re-raise preflop to see where I am at, but that sure doesn't give my opponent any room to make a mistake. Villains small bet on the flop sure is suspicious. Is he holding AA/KK, or is he checking up the waters with JJ-QQ (QQ not likely of course) or making av move with AK?

Calling is definitely out of the question. In this situation, I'm pushing my stack in the middle &amp; hoping for a fold. If he has AA or KK, I'm just going to have to re-buy! If he has AK of diamonds, you're getting called &amp; taking a coinflip (villain would actually be a small favorite).

Unless you have a more specific read on the villain, I see nothing too unusual about the size of his bet.

I know that going up against this rock can cause you to second-guess the strength of your hand. Nonetheless, if the flop has to miss you in this situation, you can't ask for a much better one than this.

Also, what kind of image do you think you've projected to the rest of the table. If you're LAGGY, the villain could be re-raising w/ weaker hands (AQ, JJ, TT, etc).

Villain preflop rr here screams AA, not KK and not AK for sure imo. If you call the flop rr it's for set value. You missed.

I agree that the flop bet is odd but I think that is really the correct way to play the hand. Your preflop raise strongly suggested a big pp imo, 7xbb is a huge bet imo. So he puts you on KK or QQ to his AA and you have 2 outs so he should bet light.

If villian's pfr is 4% or less, which i suspect it is, I play for set value, and fold flop. Tight players don't re-raise with JJ preflop OOP much.

My hand looked quite like this (I feel however that my SB has a little wider raising hand range though?). Anyone can help me with a decision?
