Re: 5/10 QQ hand in SB
I generally 3-bet the flop.
Going for a checkraise on the turn would be my second choice.
I think your hand is too good to call the whole way. MP1 probably just has a ten or a pocket pair. A hand like A7s is also possible.
I will admit that calling the whole way versus a worse pocket pair has its advantages if Villain will release that pair versus further aggression. But there are other things Villain could have, and a lot of players are taking a pocket pair to showdown unless the board gets scarier.
In any event, at the point where you have the question mark, I say go ahead and checkraise. (And while thanks to the turn card you'd like 88 and 66 to fold, Villain will see a river with those hands unless you're lucky.)
