Default Best way to play QQ?

Just making sure I got the most value out of my QQ here...

Hero is BB with T775
Villain is UTG+1 with T900

BB is T30. I have not played a hand yet and I have no reads on villain yet. I am dealt QQ. UTG+1 limps, CO limps. I raise to T100. UTG+1 calls, CO folds. Heads up, this is what I wanted, right?



Flop comes out 3h 8c 6s

With the limp-then-call move I put the villain on a weak ace or a lowish pocket pair. Hero bets _____?

I'd slap 125 out there.

Well, do you want to let him see another card? If you are wiling to do so the bet 1/2 the pot, if not bet larger maybe 3/4s of the pot.

I'm willing. I also would love for him to try some fancy crap, thinking my 1/2 bet shows weakness.

The more i've played the less i've seen that happen with 1/2 pot sized bet. I think betting less than 1/2 the pot will allow them to get fancy here, i could be wrong.

I didn't bet less than 1/2. 125 is slightly more than half.

Well anyways, I guess I acted about right. I bet 150 and villain called. The turn came 5c. What next?

Push. T400 to your t500 stack? Checking might be good, but there are way too many bad cards out there now. I'd just get all my chips in when I am pretty sure I have the best of it.
