first thing to ask yourself is would BB ever do this with QQ? if the answer is yes then its a huge mistake to fold. and without significant history, probably more than 20 mins worth, i think you can always put QQ in BB's range here

The bb could be making that move with QQ, AK or even less likely he is not giving the button any credit on his sandwich play and trying to take the pot down PF. I know I wouldn’t fold here.

Fold jj there…looks like a sick spot , but he can have 1010 there and overplayed it, can even have ak . Dont think im folding qq there on the basis he could have these hands..Def going with KK…. But i do like you're way of thinking… If i was to put my money on his hand it would indeed be AA or KK.

think its deffo a case of 'hes got aa-whatever' move on..

Do what you can to get it in here. If you run into AA then ah well.
