$200 NL HE Full Ring: 200NL live game QQ lots of callers

Okay So I've been at the table for an hour or so, the table is pretty loose and pretty weak.

The Villain in this particular spot is pretty new to the table and has mostly been quiet and has really been involved in any hands outside of a couple of call preflop fold flop type spots.

I have around $350 and have everyone covered except the guy to my immediate right, everyone else is around $200 save the button (villain) who has $160- due to those call/folds he was involved in.

I'm UTG +2 and UTG, UTG+1 limp I have QQ
I make a fairly standard raise at these stakes to $15 and get 5 callers, two I have position on and three have position on me, both limpers call.

The pot is $93 the flop is 4 5 6 rainbow.

Both of the limpers check to me
I bet $55 and it folds to the button who shoves for another $95.

What is our hero to do?

Easy call bc of stack sizes

We could be dead to 2 pair, sets or a flopped straight but it's not really that much more and villain also has 77-JJ and 76 75, 7x in his range as well.

If we were deeper and so was villain it'd get complex (and is probably a fold) but here I'd call

Yup, completely with Zybomb. Stacks are too shallow for this to be a very difficult decision and you have so many overpairs dominated that its a very easy.

Gotta love playing live games though hey? If the games are anything like the ones I play, I might pump it to $20 preflop and hope to get 1 or 2 callers, not 5.

No joke I had KK on the next hand and it was straddled with four callers, I popped it $40 and STILL got 2 callers.

I was curious If I should have bet more on the flop, I think my bet was a little shallow.

I ended up folding because I couldn't think of a hand that he was would flat with preflop and then shove the flop that I could beat except 77, everything else seemed like sets, straights, and two-pairs. Hit somewhat nitty play in the other hands led me to that since he seemed pretty fit or fold. Guess I should have called.

Edit- I'm getting like 2-1 here am I really ahead 33% of the time?

pokerstove it. it's not a matter of being ahead at the moment...it's the equity you have against his range. you are basically only drawing dead to flopped straights....you have 9% equity against a set, 25% against two pair, 53% against 1 pair + OESD, 61% vs. 33, 63% vs. 77, 74% vs. 88, 87% vs. 99-JJ...you have 54-63% vs. 7x and there's always the occasional stone cold bluff with KQ or something.

p.s. after two limps while you['re still in early position, I'd raise to at least $25...in fact, $25 is pretty much my minimum raise with QQ regardless of previous action.
