3 bets from unknowns in these games tend to be strong hands. Is playing this passively bad here?

I hate these scenarios, and I am folding them happily more now, mainly because the amount ventured isn't for enough gained, IMHO.

Now if I had a QT instead for a pair of Queens, then I'd be more likely to CALL down.

I had this happen tonite, very aggressive lady, winds up she has K5o with K on flop vs. my KTs, I just called her all the way and my kicker won, but knowing player after 2 hours+ helped.... She was tricky, and had played Axs and even as low as 45s as if they were aces earlier, and had thumped pots earlier a few times with TP no kicker... I wasn't sure enough to raise her though! LOL!
