What would you do differently?

Have a hand for evaluationif anyone else wants to comment. just curious what everyone would do in my spot.. 1-2 game, two limps to mp +3, he raises to 25 over top of two limps and blinds, he’s setting with 450+ stack. Folds to me with on button and I look down @ 2 read Q’s, I’m setting with 200 stack. I think for roughly 30 seconds and settle with a call, thinking I don’t have any history with this player and don’t wanna get 100bgs in with QQ fourth on 4th hand. Flop comes 6C 4C 2S. He bets 50 into 56ish, at this point I’m thinkin he has 1010,JJ,Kk,AA, and occasional AK or AQ suited, so I call to see turn and see what turns brings and how he reacts, I have 125 left, he has 370+. Turn brings QC, he’s first to act and shoves all in quickly, and I snap call quicker, he instantly says God ****, and I feel great, he rolls over 2B Kk, so he’s drawing to clubs and kk. River brings 4c and I’m stacked, was curious what you would’ve done differently

well, if you don’t know anything about the other player, I would take a default line and 3-bet for sure. making it like 60-80. could go larger, but this sizing gives you the room to fold to a 4-bet if you aren’t confident enough to get it in with QQ here. But I think the correct play is to call it off, can’t see how you can get away from that hand preflop.

Since we don’t have no information on this player we don’t know if he is the type to reraise with 69 suited preflop or only raises with AA or KK and will only 4 bet AA preflop. A standard 3 bet is good even assuming he is only raising TT+, AQs+. We are killing of TT and JJ, and depending on the suite we are crushing AQs+ or at at least ahead even if he has clubs. This way we can narrow his range even if only slightly. A fold means we get his money and he had probably TT or AQs if he is a really tight player, if he calls he probably doesn’t have AA so he probably has JJ-KK and AKs. IF he raises he probably has KK or AA unless he is the person who occasionally 4 bets with AKs or QQ.

Postflop the hand plays itself. Call a continuation bet on the flop with an overpair ($50 into $56). We improve on the turn and call an effective 5/6 pot bet (our remaining $125 into a $156). We are 77% to win the pot but our opponent hits one of his 11 outs.

This was a cash game that I’d never played in, so really weren’t any reads on any players, and this was the 4th hand of the night. He didn’t raise this big the rest of the night.. and the 12x raise pre sent of bells in my head.

And do you think he made the right move with his kk, everything was standard until the turn he over shoves with kk and 4 to a flush, feel like more times than not your over shove there isn’t getting called by worse, and if I’m holding ax with nut flush he’s stone cold dead. Is his shove plus or negative ev longterm
