1) I'd probably 4-bet this preflop. 5 handed, QQ is a monster. And if you just call, you're going to be forced to play the rest of the hand out of position.

2) The flop is a WA/WB scenario. Read that, it will make you a 50 million times better poker player.

4 betting preflop is certainly a reasonable option. When the utg player posts here I would make my preflop raise larger, to at least 4x the bb or more. Since the 3better is on the button he may interpret your raise is to isolate the poster and be squeezing you in position. I don't really like leading the flop here. It's a pretty common "where am I at line" from a lot of players that often times will lead to the preflop raiser raising you with any 2 cards. I think a check call here may be a better option, since you get to see if he fires another barrel on the turn, and to see another card. He's going to bet this flop a very high percentage of the time , regardless of his hand. On the turn you can expect information to be more reliable than information on the flop. If he bets again I'd probably give it up, without a good read.

Yeah you def. should have reraised pre; build that pot up and there's a good chance you're getting it all in either pre or on virtually any flop, odds you should take in this spot holding QQ.
