I'm new here first post so beaR with me
I have QQ MAKE IT 20 in the big blind.
Guy to my left goes all in it 75.00
Guy to his left goes all in more.
I have about 75 left and fold.
Flop comes K T 5 3 2
Guy to my left shows 99 and the guy to his left AT
I'm so pissed I folded. I put them on kk or aa to come over the top so much. What do you guys think?

So the UTG player limped, then re-raised all-in over the top after you bet 20% of your stack and the straddler shipped?
I'd probably suspect AA or KK too. But something's not right with the action here. Also, we have no reads on V's, which are kind of important here..
And if you're playing with less than 50BB's, just go broke with QQ pre-flop, you'll be fine in the long term.

Depends heavily on what you mean by 1-2-2.
If it's a button straddle game where the small blind/big blind are forced to go first then just get it in for less then 50BB. Unless one of the two shoves is a know very tight player it will be +EV, you will probably lose a bit over half the time but triple up when you win.
If it is some sort of UTG straddle and you are facing a double limp/shove then it is time to fold unless villains are known maniac/gamblers. A limp/shove preflop is AA/KK 90% of the time for a generic low stakes villain and the second one is even stronger.

I think my big mistake was that it was three of us and people were getting up from table so I think dealer only delt 6 hands out. I probably should have just gambled like you say. Funny thing is 2 hands later the guy with pocket 99 goes all in again and this time he has kk the guy to his left calls because of last hand and he had QQ. Sucks........
