QQ on button, unopened

I'm one of a couple newcomers at the table.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (10 handed) converter

UTG+1 (t2165)
UTG+2 (t4358)
MP1 (t1840)
MP2 (t1934)
MP3 (t3810)
CO (t1080)
Hero (t1060)
SB (t8260)
BB (t3660)
UTG (t3898)

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
7 folds, Hero raises to t150, SB calls t125, BB calls t100.

Flop: (t450) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, BB bets t200, Hero folds, SB folds.

Final Pot: t650

Fold is pretty standard with SB still to act. How about if I were HU with BB?
Also, anyone raise more preflop? I was playing it like any other steal.

What's your read on the villian?

OK, no read, got it.

The way you played it, fine. If you call, you're calling off 1/4 of your stack. Will you call again on 4th St?

HU I do nothing different.

You played it correctly. Nothing more you can really do here. Every now and then you'll see someone try to make a play here, with something like 10 10, trying to represent the Ace or trips.

Unless you know the player, it's hard to do anything but fold here.

Fair enough.
Your icon makes baby Jesus cry.
