I tagged this as a strange hand...
Got no tells nor notes on him, just a stat of 33/11 (9 hands, not enough)
It looks like a Q who is afraid of the Flush Draw. With the all in he will have, 44, 55, 22, A3, Weak Q, and Flush Draws, maybe some 88-99.
Strange.... Do i fold?

Yes, it's a very easy fold OTT without a specific read.
Preflop I would lean towards a call, although I don't hate a 3bet once in a while. Problem is mostly that you have a very tough decision when facing a 4bet, and will probably need to fold your equity.
Your 3bet sizing is not standard at all and you should avoid that in general, especially as you will grind up the stakes and face tougher competition.
There is some merit in doing that with a merged range and potentially keep some weaker hands in your opponent's range, and play a HU pot more often... but on the other hand you are giving way too good odds to hands like QJo/KJo etc - and you would rather see these hands fold preflop.
Yeah thats right, i should lean towards a call preflop. I didnt understood what you meant in the last part. My 3bet sizing is to low? And if i use this low sizing i should combine it with hands like QJ? Thanks for the answer Pierre!
Overall, you should just try to avoid this sizing as you give good enough odds to your opponent to call profitably with many hands. You are basically not making them fold any equity.
You misunderstood the QJo thing. I meant that vs this sizing, your opponent who has QJo type of hands will never fold, and he would be correct not to fold. If you make it bigger like 3x, you leave him with a tougher decision, you push some equity by making him fold a hand that has 48% equity, which is definitely not bad :)
I hope I made it clearer, but feel free to let me know if not !
In position you you should aim to 3bet around 3x the opening. By virtually min3betting you give villain over 3:1 on his call, so he can probably profitably call with his whole range, which is not necessarily something we want to happen. You also invite cold calls when you would prefer a HU flop. I think both 3betting and calling are fine here, though it has merits to get that hand HU.
I also prefer a check on the flop I think. I'm kind of one the fence here, because for one we could use some protection against overcard combos, but on the other hand a cbet in a 3way pot always looks strong. Also there are not necessarily that many overcard combos (AJ, KJ, as AK might get 4bet pre). So I am not sure about this one. If I were to cbet, I would bet a bit less. I have no intention to play for stacks and there not a lof of snignificant draws. While writing this, I come to the conclusion that cbetting something around the 1/3 pot mark is probably the wy to got here. Given how strong it looks, we might get folds from overcards and we keep a pot, in which we do not have a ton of interest once called, small.
Definitely 3bet bigger, 400-450.
