Given this is a bounty I dont think you can profitably jam here as you will not have much fold equity given the other stacks are large and they will want to try to get your bounty. You might get the button to fold due to a player still to act behind them but you wont get both to fold often and Q3 is not great against even their loose calling range (although you will have some equity heads up). Therefore, I think calling or folding are your best options. I can see a case for folding due to you only having 10 BBs but calling you are getting 6 to 1 which is good enough for me to go from 10.5 BBs to 9.5 BBs and see if we can hit something. Any flop with a Q and non ace I would be jamming and any low flops that have a 3 in them (such as 348) I would be willing to go with. Doesnt mean you will win even when you hit a pair but I think it will be a good play in the long run.
