Default QQ in the BB preflop question

situation that came up today. Hero is in the BB with two red queens.

UTG donk limps, UTG+2 donk limps, tight passive MP1 raises, TAG SB 3 bets, Hero....? is this an easy cap preflop for value?

I call preflop and then raise the TAGs flop bet. I don't think a cap is wrong here.

Since your hand will be vulnerable on alot of flops I prefer to face the field with 2 cold on the flop in what will be a 13SB pot at that point.

This really depends how tight MP1 really is (doesn't raise AK,QQ etc) and how much you think SB is paying attention to how tight SB is. If both these guys are super tight then I just call and welcome the donks to come along. I'm pretty sure i'm playing for set value and being in the BB I have odds to draw. If were talking an MP that will raise AQ and a TAG that will isolate with 99 or better than this is an easy cap.

Cap, because its probably getting capped anyway, and you'll gain more control over the hand.

Or you can call, hit unders, when the sb bets into you raise and kill the field.

If someone was going to cap it anyway, I doubt my cap is going to give me much control over the hand postflop. It's a bad reason to raise, anyway.

Cold calling the two probably does a good job of disguising the hand but i just hate the thought of cold-calling with qq's here on the chance u can get the donks to fold thier suited crap when its 3 more bets to them.

Cappity cap.

If the flop contains an A or K and action gets heavy, you can still get away from it.

Cap it. Face the donks with calling 3 cold. And yes, it's for value.
