I would be inclined to re-raise.

true....but he isnt exactly a fish either....and I did reraise....but thats not the point....I think a lot of the time I'm up against a made set, overs with fd, sometimes a straight and overcards.....but I think they are most of the time ahead of me.......Im not saying its a sure fold......but that board is wet and connected...

let me say one more thing....the preflop 3bet was on the small side......normally its raised to 2.50 to 2.75ish....in that pot, im shoving here for sure. But being that it was a little smaller, I think I snag more callers. Which is why im really afraid of sets here.

Legit concern, but any overpair may take a shot here due to the small 3bet as well. 3bet pot, we're beat by sets and AA and some connector hands, ahead of draws and almost all pairs, I don't think we can fold here against your basic unknown.

Hate the situation, though, that small 3bet is definitely a problem, we've got less than 25% of effective stacks in at this point - a bigger 3bet and flop lead and we can happily shove.

I think that he puts you on A-K or something, i would do re-reraise here.
He can do reraise like that with top pair or just draw , and if he have hitted the set or the nut straight, he would slowplay it, i think. Push all in bro :)

Although the reasoning makes sense, the hand that I am most afraid of here is Ah7h. Definitely the line I would take with it. Especially if after you call on the flop, he has the ability to check the turn and peel for a free card. Sure, he's giving away his hand, but he has the option. If he is a very good player, he might have already put you on a big pair. If he knows you can lay down in a big situation, he can play any heart, any A any pair or any 7. Heck, he doesn't even HAVE to have A7h to do this if he knows you can fold to a scary card.

How does he perceive you? Do you guys have any history?

40 hands at that point, no real history other than looking for the fish. I'm pretty abc tag at this point.

and I did.........being results oriented, it was qq.......
just wanted to make sure it was the best line.........

This is not uncommon, for Villain to open 99-QQ, get 3bet oop and call pf, and if they flop an overpair, to get it in...

I shove but in future make that 3bet bigger.
With KK we don't want multiple opponents for a 2x raise.
We want one opponent for a 4x raise.

At 25NL never ever make ~2x 3bets. Were 3betting for value so we want it as big as we can possibly pull off. Plus it makes decisions like this much easiaer

usually 3bets are 2.50 to 2.75 when facing a pf raise......and if I'm not mistaken, I believe I was already heads up (just looked and the bb was still around.)....either way the smallish 3bet was a mistake, which was the whole reason I decided to post this hand.

I only mentioned multiple players as it was your reasoning for making the 3bet smaller. At the end of the day with players behind us or not, when against people who call too much we want to make all our bets as big as they will possibly call off.

OOP PF I would have made it $3 to play. I would 3bet 2.5x IP but at least 3x if not 4x OOP. Giving how it was played it was shove or fold. I dont think a set raises you so I shove (reluctantly)

Very good point...any scare card makes it hard for you to play
