Pre should be a 4bet/broke to villains squeeze imo?

BB: unknown reg
As played, the board isn't that nice to play vs. his squeeze range, any pocket pair in his range (TT+) beats us + there are few draws (except gutshots) in his range, AcKc is the only flush draw i expect and i'm not sure if hes betting whole of his AK,AQ,AJ hands 2 streets.
Because of the small bet size + the gutshot we picked up on the turn i think calling the turn and folding to a shove on the river should be fine. What do you think?

Given how the hand went, I think your analysis after is fine. If Villain really has KK+ I'd expect him to be betting a lot more ott due to the draws on the board (Or maybe he's scared of a set?). It is possible TT or JJ made it and he's trying to squeeze you for thin value, but the thing is he probobly doesn't know how strong you actually are with QQ. The turn though imo is a pretty mandatory call unless we have a clear idea villain's 3bet%. However pre I'm not a fan of the flat with queens because that's how you got yourself in somewhat of a sticky situation in the first place. You kind of underplayed your hand and now you don't know where you're at. Aces/Kings I believe are okay to call as a "trap" (not sure if that's what you were doing) because they're so good on so many flop textures, but QQ is very close to JJ in the sense that it's in the center of being unsure. Lets say you 3bet mp and then get 4bet by the bb. There vs an unknown I'm more willing to fold (based on how big the 4b is, if it's not too big I'll prob see a flop) because he gave you much clearer info about his hand.

edit: Lets say he calls your 3bet oop and keeps the same line. At that point I'd probobly fold ott.

That turn fold is hideous
