SB posts SB $0.10, BB posts BB $0.25

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.35) Hero has Q♠ Q♦

fold, fold, Hero raises to $0.75, fold, SB raises to $2.50, fold, Hero raises to $6.00, SB raises to $11.50, Hero calls $5.50

Flop: ($23.25, 2 players) 8♣ 6♠ A♦
SB bets $8.80, fold

SB wins $22.20

Preflop: The guy had a 3% 3B over 315 hands, never 4B before so I was kind of puzzled for the 5B. Since we were deep I don't know if he had AK and didn't want to shove, KK that might check/fold to an A on board, so I decided to call.

Flop: Flop comes dry with an A. I don't think he's got AA now so if he checks I'm shoving; being this tight he would probably fold KK. When he leads, though, he's never bet/folding so I fold.

My main confusion is over preflop play: I don't think I can fold QQ in this spot, neither I think it's fine to shove them deep against this guy. I'm puzzled. ?(

Hi,

Against 3% 3bet range, you should just be calling preflop against the 3bet. 4betting would just turn this into a bluff! Just call pre and be cautious postflop even on low boards.
