Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has Q:diamond: Q:heart:

UTG raises to 3 BB, Hero calls 3 BB, fold, fold, fold, fold, BTN raises to 11 BB, fold, fold, fold, Hero ???

3 bet utg raise.. But as played IMO flat btn raise and if the flop is good check call, try get to showdown. I know a lot of players will donk bet shove the flop too but that's a bad line to take

I hate calling 3bets OOP. Especially vs a nitty player like that with a low 3bet. 4bet or fold but I'm def leaning towards fold cuz I don't think he's doing this with worse..

Hmm, he is pretty nitty, but it's 8bb to call a 18.4bb pot. I like flatting better than folding or 4betting. Definitely not gonna 4bet a 2.5% 3b with QQ. It won't be hard to figure out if he has AA or KK and if you do hit a Q, a lot of preflop nits overplay AA and KK postflop so you can stack them.

yeah but you shouldn't set mine in a 3bet pot vs someone playing 56bbs

Good point. I overlooked that part.

Although it's not really set mining. Getting the set is just one good possibilty with great implied odds. The reason for calling is just because you have enough equity vs. his range to call. Folding is alright since you're OOP and will likely have to give up another bet to find out whether or not you're beat, and if an A or K comes down you have to give up, but never 4bet it as he's probably 5b shoving his whole range.

Anyway, it looks like fold is the best option.
