You can flip the situation around a bit to make calling better. Change the hands to where you are at less of a disadvantage. Change positions etc.

In this instance though, the leverage you can get over the other players in the pot isn't great enough to overcome you lack of equity.

That's what I thought at first (whoa, I'm a massive dog, time to fold.) But I'm no longer as sure, because knowing for certain his holding makes it a lot easier to blast him off it if the right cards come. This concept is key in NL,my usual game, where if I saw his QQ hole cards I would not have considered folding this, just whether to call or 3-bet.

I now think that if I saw that he had JJ instead of QQ, 3-betting is by far the best move despite the fact that I have two unders, because now I can represent AKQ if it hits as well as milking my own hand for all its value.
