QQ in the blind

Thoughts on this one?

His preflop reraise was small and this was strange. I thought there was a good chance it was AA but was not sufficiently convinced to fold preflop or flop

Wtf is the turn check about?

I'm still thinking there's a good chance I'm behind to AA.

Who in their right mind limps AA UTG+1 after UTG limped?
Seems strange to me.

You are right it does.

So what *do* you put him on, in light of his overlimp and small reraise?

I do not have much experience and I don't think I have ever seen a move like that before.

1) He could have AA and have overlooked the first limper.
2) He could have something crappy and just wanted to take it down.

I really don't know - I think, however, that you should bet the turn, on the river you might just have given Ax(K?) a free chance to suck out on you.
