1-2 with QQ

Check….

If we had 99 I'd be more inclined to bet, but let's check given not a ton of scare cards can come.

bet quarter pot and proceed

I check. If he bets you just need to try to get a feel for him and go with it.

I probably just call pre with no reads, in my games this raise size is a very strong range on average, and I don't want to 3bet/fold

Flop I slightly prefer range bet 40 vs check, but not really happy with both options tbh.

If youre gonna check even one single hand, itd be this one.

And range bets in 3 bet pots tend to be 20-30% pot, not 40. So if you were to bet, youd bet like $30.

I don't agree, on this flop with this SPR you can check your whole range, but QQ is probably the only hand with which we could make a mistake by folding to a bet (I assume with SPR 1 nobody will c/f toppair+).

But as I wrote before, I don't think it makes a big difference anyway, it's a ****ed up spot, and pure guessing game if we don't want to play c/f all the time.

I'm fine with betting 30.

Edit:

Would be more interesting what kind of range do you guys give villain and hero for the preflop action?

I don't think hero will light3bet in this spot, so his range is probably around QQ+/AK, for villain it's more difficult because he could be a bad reg or fish, especially because of the unusual big iso raise.

So would say big part is JJ-QQ and AK with some KK, but would also add some TT/AJs-AQs and random stuff. But not sure if it's enough to play around instead of just c/f all the time.

Check range anyway, doesn't matter what you have.

Not 3betting pre. is terrible, without reads.
Would be looking to 3bet the better hands with 1 Q in them that I want to play. The size seems kind of big, but that depends on the players ... too many 1-2 players just don't have a good raise/fold range preflop.

Don't mind range check, or range bet 25. Even range bet 40 is fine at most 1-2 games.

Checking only QQ feels pretty bad, just from the obvious "lol, what's our range. Hopefully V doesn't know".
Checking QQ and AA, and betting everything is probably fine.
