5 cubed QQ facing a lot of aggression

Cake Poker, $5 Buy-in (800/1,600 blinds, 150 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 8 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

CO: 14,322 (9 bb)
BTN: 67,037 (41.9 bb)
Hero (SB): 94,084 (58.8 bb)
BB: 24,638 (15.4 bb)
UTG+2: 23,660 (14.8 bb)
MP1: 18,120 (11.3 bb)
MP2: 9,310 (5.8 bb)
MP3: 35,682 (22.3 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Qs Qh
3 folds, MP3 raises to 3,200, CO folds, BTN raises to 6,000, Hero calls 5,200, BB folds, MP3 calls 2,800

Flop: (20,800) Th 5c 8d (3 players)
Hero checks, MP3 bets 29,532 and is all-in, BTN calls 29,532, Hero ???

There are 15 players left I am CL and BTN is in 3rd. I don't like a 4b here bc of stack sizes. Is this a slam dunk jam?

Also I don't see many light 3bs at these stakes on Lock so I'm assuming that the BTN is 3bing for value until proven otherwise.

i am sorry but i just cant see how you can find a fold after coldcalling a 3bet with QQ and basically hitting a dream flop. This is a $5 tourney on cake, too. just 4b/broke pre. if ur calling you have to go broke on T85r

id just 4bet small pre and call it off QQ is too strong..anyway as played i dont think u can fold this flop with an overpair...if the flop was ace high or king high then yea

The reason you had to post this hand is because you didn't 4bet pre. Another reason you can add to your list of reason to 4bet is not to play a 3way pot, as well as not to play 3bet pots out of position.

Also assuming people are only 3betting QQ+ AK is a mistake and a leak. When pros say 3bet 'light' they mean hands like KK and hands like k4s, a polarized range. When we talk about fish 3betting light, we mean hands like 77 or KJs. This lock fish here is certainly 3betting light and QQ is a gigantic monster vs that range.

Also don't forget about fold equity. You are in the blinds and say "I will 4bet and might get called but its ok because sometimes villains fold and I pick up the pot". If villain calls and shows AA and you only have QQ, its ok because you also earn dead money sometimes when everyone folds.
