QQ's in a 4 bet pot.
2/3 nl .
The LJ is 221 effective. I start the hands with 363 and EP has 297. Both players are on the tight passive side.
EP opens to 11, LJ 3 bets to 32, I 4 bet to 77 with QdQs in the CO. it's folded back to EP who calls and LJ calls.
(235 in pot)....9d5c8h...EP checks, LJ jams all in for 144. I have 286 and the EP has 220.
I would think this guy would have jammed pre flop with AK, AA or KK's given his stack size. That being said I don't have a good sample size of how he or the ep plays. Jamming all in on the flop with 99's or 88's doesn't make sense. I don't know that he would 3 bet those pre flop.
EP probably has AK or a pair that wasn't good enough to 5 bet. I've seen her fold pre flop in this situation before. I've seen her fold a few times after she raised and was 3 bet. Obviously her call is much stronger here. She had to think it was possible the LJ might jam behind her. Do people call the 4 bet here with KK's or AA's?
What would you do in my spot?
Is my sizing right for the 4 bet?

Your sizing is fine. At spr 1 we should never fold an overpair. I think we get shown JJ TT KK a lot.
When two tight-passive players raise and call in front of me, I'm not feeling that great about my QQ. Consequently, if I'm continuing it'll be with a call, since we don't have enough to raise-fold, and I don't like my chances against their "doesn't fold to a 4-bet range."
I don't think it's that likely LJ has AA/KK here. Not much of a point to slow-playing with the pot being so big and people looking like they're committed. Not too worried about them.
I would be worried if EP was a good player because they're essentially cold-calling a 4-bet, which looks like a FPS trap with AA/KK.
id call and let EP think about it
pre is good
