The game is 4-handed. At a full table, you might have an argument for folding preflop (though I still think that's fairly weak) but I don't believe you can narrow down the raiser's hand to AA/KK/AK in this situation.

pegging your opponant as a TAG and being an UTG raiser, which just about puts him on AA, AK, KK against your QQ

10 handed, this might be a tight UTG raiser's standards.

4 handed, definitely not. And if somehow they were, you have the implied odds to play for a set and double up.

So what if its ten handed, its still an easy call even if you're playing only for set value.

No - I have to call for set implied odds no matter what... But this guy seriously had not been raising at all. Early in the session, he was, but then he stopped playing hands for a long time, so I thought it very likely he had a high pocket or ace in this spot.

Lately I don't even get excited anymore about these type of spots. It seems I'm making most of my money in position anyways and when I hit big hands. Maybe that's a problem where I'm not capitalizing on marginal situations like I should be. I'm still averaging above 10 big bets / 100 in the short-handed game, but feel i'm leaking some in these situations.
