Queens overpair, weird betting patterns from opp.

PokerStars 1/2 Hold'em (8 handed)

Preflop: Hero is CO with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, MP1 raises, MP2 folds, Hero 3-bets, Button folds, SB calls, BB folds, UTG folds, MP1 calls.

Flop: (11 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB bets, MP1 raises, Hero 3-bets, SB calls, MP1 calls.

Turn: (9 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB bets, MP1 raises, Hero ??

At this point I'm thinking my queens are behind. SB cold called pre-flop and is stopping and going at every street. MP1 didn't show any real strength pre-flop by choosing not to cap, but I'm thinking he might of caught a set because he is continuing to raise at every opportunity. Ok to fold here facing two bets cold? Or call down?

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they both have sets, and would be quite surprised if neither did. I'd fold.

you have a safe fold here. SB's stop n go actions indicate a set and you're not closing hte action here and might have to face more bets on the turn and more than one bet on the river.

MP1's almost definitely got a set of 9's. SB's got something strong under there, this is a safe laydown.

Well, I was behind, but not as far as I thought. At the end, MP1 was just overplaying a pocket pair of tens and SB was just weird playing a pocket pair of kings.

I have run into a few weird betting patterns lately myself, most recently a player who kept betting into me even though I raised him pre-flop, flop, and turn. I think it is getting to close to Halloween and the asylum folks have to much access to the internet.
