Default QQ big stack battle at party

Well, maybe not so much "battle" as "fleeing the scene screaming for mommy". What should I have done differently?

Party $100 NL. I have $530, BB has $50, UTG+1 has $800.

No read on BB, UTG+1 will make loose limps/calls preflop, plays somewhat more solidly postflop.

I get QQ in the SB. 3 limpers- I overbet slightly to $15. This is my normal play- I'm happy picking up the pot here and I want to make them pay if I'm going to play out of position for the rest of the hand.

BB calls, UTG+1 min-raises to $28.

Hmm... haven't seen him make this play yet. could be AA/KK, could be less- maybe he thinks my overbet is a bluff or just wants to control the betting for the hand. I call, BB calls.

Flop: Jxx, 2 diamonds.

So: What's my plan?

Check-fold? Check-raise? Check-call? Bet? Really, I have no idea here.

So, I check, BB thinks a while and goes all-in for 20, UTG+1 min-raises to $40. And, being the weak-tight little girly-man that I am, I decide this isn't my spot and bail.

Results: <font color="white"> BB has JTo, UTG has AKo. Doh. </font>

Cheers,

-muz
