Default Re: QQ hand - do you do anything differently?

I don't think there is any chance in the world I fold this hand on the flop. I have had it 3 bet to me and folded top pair only to have the showdown be second pair vs. ace high vs. Top pair with a weaker kicker on the end with plenty of betting and raising (none from the best hand) the rest of the way. Granted, I quickly pegged those 2 as extreme lags and cleaned them out, but my point is that too much random crap happens in the Micro limits to allow me to even consider folding an over pair unless I already knew that all the bettors and raisers were very passive players.

Sure some players won't reraise without 2 pair or a set, but many will put in several raises with top pair weak kicker or an over pair, so without a read, I am calling this down most of the time. I would say they are just as likely to have JJ and A9 as they are to have 77 and 99. And note that against 2 pair you have 5 outs on the flop and 8 on the end.

Given the fact that they raised and cold called 3 bets preflop with 77 and 99 I am thinking they tend to overplay many hands so I am even more likely to stay in on the flop (I am using this info in order to surmise what kind of read you should have had on them since none was provided).
