Villain (reraiser) is pretty new to the table,
flatcaller is 14.6 / 5.7 / 3.5 over 123 hands (not in the warm-up alone, having tracked hands from him before).

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t1000 (9 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

MP3 (t17999)
CO (t43508)
Button (t40919)
SB (t34774)
BB (t43693)
Hero (t30700)
UTG+1 (t9800)
MP1 (t60970)
MP2 (t44507)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with J

, J

.
Hero raises to t3000, 4 folds, CO calls t3000, Button raises to t12000, 2 folds, Hero ???????

What do you think is the best move here?

Thanks in advance.

If hes squeeky tight then I curse and fold.

PT tourney stats can be misleading if your sample is mostly from the later rounds where everyone is a little tighter, or from early when good players can be very loose......unless you play a billion tournies and have good samples, but even then you can play a lot of tournies and not be in someone's db.

This is completely opponent dependent. Don't overlook the CO flatting your UTG open.

That said, I'm not folding QQ here.

That's tricky with no read on button. CO's range can be pretty wide here, even with those stats. I'd probably OPR button and decide whether to shove: the better his stats, the more likley I am to.

I would most probably fold.
