Considering the passiveness I was tempted to fold this.
Would you play it the same?

PokerStars - $0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 4 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

CO: $2.58
BTN: $1.83
Hero (SB): $5.42
BB: $1.25 (VPIP 66/PR 11/3B 0/Hands: 38)

Hero posts SB $0.01, BB posts BB $0.02

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.03) Hero has Q♦ Q♣

fold, BTN raises to $0.06, Hero raises to $0.24, BB raises to $0.56, fold, Hero raises to $0.88, BB raises to $1.25 and is all-in, Hero calls $0.37

Flop: ($2.56, 2 players) 9♥ 2♠ 2♥

Turn: ($2.56, 2 players) 5♥

River: ($2.56, 2 players) 6♥

4 handed against a passive villain I can't really fold ether, but after his 4bet I would just shove. A 5bet makes not to much sense anymore with so much in the middle already. You will never fold if he would shove.

Cheers,

My rule of thumb, Pretty Sexy Ladies I am not folding pre-flop. It's ALL-IN 100% of the time. It is the 3rd best hand. If the Pretty Sexy Ladies will broke my heart I will be the MAN to accept it.

I think 38 hands is a very small sample to say anything about villain. Also I wouldn’t fold QQ preflop at NL2 against any villain.

Nice hand, don't make hero calls or hero folds on micros and you're good.

I think I would fold in NL2.

Just put yourself in BB's place. BU opens 3BB, and SB 3bet 4x. I have had 38 hands just left of SB. SB seems solid.
What is SB's range? If I (as BB) 4bet with AQo, both would fold? No. What about 88-JJ? I would just call and set-mine. If QQ-AA, then 4bet.

Especially BB 4bet 2.5x, not 3x or 4x. It's actually shove.

I could Just fold and find another opportunity.
