Q-Q middle of Tourney

[etotheipi]

Middle of a PokerStars $11 rebuy tourney, blinds 150/300, I have t7800. Rebuy period is oer. I am one of the smaller stacks on the table.

Part I:

I get Q-Q in CO. UTG folds, UTG+1 raises to 1000. Everyone folds to me. UTG+1 is about even stacked with me. I haven't been paying too much attention, but I don't remember seeing him him play a whole lot of hands, and he's certainly not loose.

What do I do with my Q-Q? VERY good chance of A-A, K-K or A-K, in which case I'm a small favorite or a huge dog. Of course there's a large range of hands he could have of which I have him dominated. Is it worth risking going broke in this situation?

How about a min-raise, and if he pushes I fold? Kind of a strange play, but it seems like I could get some valuable information from him.

Part II:

I decided to call the 1000. BB also called. Pot is 3-way with just over 3000 in the middle. Flop comes 8-4-2 rainbow. BB checks, preflop raiser bets out 3000. I fold.

I don't think necessarily folding was a bad play, but if I'm going to call his bet preflop, I feel like I should play with him if I get a favorable flop for Q-Q. Otherwise, why did I call preflop to start?

Any thoughts? I know I probably misplayed it. I have a terrible tendency that if I'm not sure if I should raise or fold, calling is a nice compromise.
