Default QQ in the small blind versus min reraise from EP min-raiser

Villain is loose aggressive preflop and passive post flop. His preflop numbers are about 59% V$PIP, 13% PFR.

I initially put him on a low or mid sized pocket pair when he open min-raised. I reraised to $3 (too small?) to see where I'm at with villain. He repops my raise to $6. At this point, I'm not sure if he really has something, or suspects I'm stealing. I figure him for at least an AK(s) or AQs, possibly the AA, KK, another QQ or even JJ or TT, so I call expecting to check/fold to a K or A on the flop. He is pretty loose aggressive preflop, so I'm not entirely confident that he would only do this with AA or KK.

The flop is all low cards. I'm now out of position with the third best possible hand that I think villain MIGHT reraise with (AA, KK and TT beating me on the flop). My stack is not much bigger than the pot now. What's my move?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (9 handed) converter

BB ($9.25)
UTG ($37.39)
UTG+1 ($36.15)
MP1 ($24.75)
MP2 Villain ($68.03)
MP3 ($37.90)
CO ($26)
Button ($25.90)
Hero ($25)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $0.10.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 Villain raises to $0.5</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Button calls $0.50, <font color="#CC3333">Hero (poster) raises to $2.9</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 folds, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 Villain raises to $6</font>, Button folds, Hero calls $3.

Flop: ($13) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Pot is $13. Hero has $19 left. Villain has hero covered.

What is hero's next move and why?

Options include:

-push knowing that you're a huge underdog to AA, KK and TT

-check/call any bet - even all your chips - as long as the board looks OK (i.e. an overcard doesn't hit the turn or river and there aren't runner/runner hearts on turn and river)

-check/push given hero's stack size when villain expecting hero to make a continuation bet

-check/fold giving villain credit for AA, KK or TT instead of AK(s), JJ, or something else that he might reraise with

-something else?

sounds like you're beat, and he's not folding. what are the chances that he's put you on a steal?

Check.

Based on your read, if he checks behind you can value bet a blank on the turn. If he bets strongly, you can trust your read and make a tough laydown. And if he bets the flop weakly, you can push maybe?

Probably less than 20%. My PFR is 5% or 6% so he's got to figure I usually have something here, at least a pair or big Ace.
