MP: $19.45 (121.6 bb)
Hero (CO): $16 (100 bb)
BTN: $16.17 (101.1 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with Q Q
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.40, BTN calls $0.40, SB raises to $1.84, BB folds, Hero raises to $4.64, BTN folds, SB raises to $16 and is all-in, Hero calls $11.36 and is all-in

Flop: ($32.56) A J 2 (2 players, 2 are all-in)
Turn: ($32.56) 8 (2 players, 2 are all-in)
River: ($32.56) 8 (2 players, 2 are all-in)

Preflop: Standard open. When the SB decided to squeeze, I believe I have to go broke.

SB: 23/14/10/20(5)/44 (VPIP/PFR/3B/SQZ/H)

Well, the hand sample is very small, but still villain has shown a tendency to squeeze. I like the way you played.

23/14 definitely loose passive
You can expect in squeeze range AK QQ+ , vs such range you are a under dog with QQ pre flop and should even consider folding since you have 40.21% equity vs such a range. Since 23/14, you can always expect very tight squeeze range (QQ+ AK) and your QQ only becomes a call once you 4 bet it - because you price yourself to call off 5 bet now! So you created the odds but in reality you are a huge underdog vs such range. Even vs JJ+ AK you are behind with 47.37% equity and this is something to keep in mind in future. Opponents who are loose passive will squeeze very tight pre flop. Vs their range you will be under dog. That leaves you with 2 valid options and 3rd option which is the worst IMO.
1) Fold pre flop (if opponent has QQ+ AK, you just beat AK and it is debatable if you will win frequently enough - depends how opponent plays AK post flop, loose passive most likely will check when he doesn't have it and bet all the QQ+ hands) 2) Defend to squeeze (this option works if opponent has weaker hands in his squeeze range and now you defend because you have stronger equity and want him to bluff you post flop so that you increase your EV of defending) 3) 4 bet to stack off (this is the last option that I would use because you basically force the odds, fold out all the weaker hands and face always stronger range facing 5 bet shove from opponent; worse thing is that this guy is passive and he has no bluffs, while with QQ it makes way more sense to 4 bet reg here who has in his 5 bet shoving weaker hands like suited Aces and small pps which then make you a favorite with QQ!).
