Awkward Situation
Party 25$ Buy in.
I have 45$ and both villains have over 50$. Both villains seem tight. CO is aggressive and SB is passive. I am dealt QQ and open-raise to 1$ from two off the button. CO makes it 2$ more and small blind calls. BB folds and I make it 6 more. The CO makes it 6 more and the small blind calls as do I. 45$ in the pot. Flop comes 6c 7h 4d. Small blind bets 3.75 into a 45$ pot. what do I do?

Re: Awkward Situation
why did you put in a 3rd raise preflop when you're reraised by a tight player? take a flop for $2 and play some poker...
his 4th raise can't be anything but AA/KK, so you're playing for set value, and SB knows that too. i think SB has AA and was trapping the both of you. fold.

FWIW, I call this bet with any two cards, and see what the real hand does. Edit: Swolfe's post makes a lot of sense too... it takes a bigger hand to call than to raise...

SB's weak lead, followed by a call will almost certainly be followed up by a raise from the CO.
