Got a tough spot with QQ in 6$ rebuy tournament (rebuy was already over). I was moved to a new table (played 7 hands there)
and It was 3rd hand in a row I did 3bet (did run pretty well) and I have won those pots without showing up my hand.
Villain had 14/7 stats after 7 hands and also in one of the previous hands when he had 30bb he cold called
3bet with A9s and called all in on 88Jss (and rivered the flush against the other guy).
Hero (MP1): t134770 MP2: t18750 CO: t138204 BTN: t78342 SB: t45830 BB: t96648 UTG: t52570 UTG+1: t41969 UTG+2: t178749 Pre Flop: (t6000) Hero is MP1 with Qs Qh
1 fold, UTG+1 raises to t7500, 1 fold, Hero raises to t18000, 1 fold, CO raises to t50000, 4 folds, Hero?

If he is flatting a 3b with A9s, then that would tell me his ranges are likely to be a bit wider than norm. However, that could be an isolated incident, or one where he and the other player had prior history. With such a short time at the table, you can only give that so much weight.
As for your hand, I doubt I'm ever folding QQ here. I'm very likely flatting the 4b and check/calling off every board that doesn't contain an Ace. This is where knowing some history on this player comes in super handy.. is he the kind of player who will barrel/bluff shove a T high flop with all of his 4b range or only the big pairs? Since we don't have that information, it's more of a guessing game based on the one hand we do have. Also, your image is quite loose.
I'm not agaisnt just 5 bet shoving it here either. Usually when i'm on the fence about a decision, I like to take the more agressive route, even though that trigger can be quite difficult to pull.
Interested to hear other players thoughts.

I play pretty much on Bovada only, so I'm really familiar with small sample sizes. Flatting the 3bet with A9s gives you a lot more information about him than his stats after 7 hands do. If it's really your 3rd 3betting hand in a row then you have to ship it. He might call with hands that won't give anymore action on a lot of flops (AJ, 66). If he folds then you build an image where people will not play back at you without legit hands, even if they think you have 72o in your range.

Yeah, I think I might make a hero fold with JJ here, but with QQ+ or AK I’m probably just getting it in. There’s so much in the pot already that we’d need to be incredibly confident of our read here to throw it away. I don’t see any value in calling, because we just give him the chance to get away from AK on boards he misses, so it allows him to play perfectly.
