I was involved in an interesting hand at a live tournament with 600 entrants, 150 remaining, and average stack of 30BB, 9-handed, $400 buy in. I recently moved to the table and played two orbits so I have no reads on anyone, except that there was no one too out of line.

I am UTG with 27BB (effective for this hand) and raise to 2.2x with QQ. UTG+1 pops it to 6.5x and folds around to me.

Is it too nitty to fold here?

Edit: does it matter that it is live? Is calling an option? How much do reads matter?

Edit2: what about if I know if he's calling or folding with ak to a jam.

I´m no live pro , but maybe some description of V will help.
With 27BB don´t think is close, but maybe others will disagree (40BB+ i might peel)

Run better?

Could see a discussion if you had TT or AQ, but can't see anything to discuss here.

Not sure how you would know this..but if you ran an ev calc, the deeper the stacks, the more profit QQ would show over AK if stacks get in pre.

Folding is too nitty especially without a read.

Very easy ship with JJ+/AK unless you pick up a specific read or villain is Chainsaw :-)
