CO: $36.92 (147.7 bb)
BTN: $35.53 (142.1 bb)
Hero (SB): $25 (100 bb)
BB: $25 (100 bb)

MP: $10 (40 bb)

Pre-Flop: Hero is SB with Q:spade: Q:heart:
MP posts BB out of position, UTG raises to $1.75, MP raises to $3.25, 2 folds, Hero?

I fold the first one pretty quick. Two limp-re-raisers is just ridiculous. If it was just the button, I'd get all in pretty quick, but the presence of MP and his 3-bet makes this a fold.

4-bet the second one pretty fast, and I 4-bet it smallish. $8.50 seems good.

EDIT - Just read stack sizes on villains. With them being short, it doesn't really matter. They'll often have total junk here, but with them being fishy, I just go ahead and 4-bet anyways.

I think the first hand is very standard, and fold is your only option.

Second hand I would 4 bet it and probably see the UTG fold and we will be allin with the MP ($10) preflop.

Thanks for the replies. The first hand I agree i should have folded, my hatred for their idiotic play took hold and made me shove.

The second hand would you still 4bet if both raisers were 100BB deep?
MPs 3bet would looks pretty strong based on their positions if it weren't for him being short stacked.

MP is likely just defending his posted BB. And even if he's not, I don't fold QQ preflop 100 bb's deep.
