Folding queens pre?

SB: $38.25 (Hero)
BB: $32.59
UTG: $25
HJ: $33.50
CO: $23.32
BN: $9.65
No reads on villain unfortunately.
Preflop ($0.35) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt Q Q
UTG raises to $0.75, HJ folds, CO folds, BN folds, Hero raises to $2.50, BB calls $2.25, UTG raises to $8.50, Hero folds, BB folds
I guess everything is standard up til the fold?
Maybe just call with queens to see a flop, and play after that, but I really don't like playing OOP without bettinglead.
So I 3bet my normal size, and get cold-called, and we're way ahead of his range, as he would most likely cold 4-bet AA, KK.
Once UTG 4-bet after a cold caller of my 3-bet that's just extremely strong in my eyes, and almost always is aces or kings, as jacks would prob just call and see a flop with great odds. Same goes for AK I guess.

Is it to fishy to ship it and just call it a cooler if we run into aces or kings?
Final Pot
UTG wins $7.50

Honestly, it prolly doesnt matter too much either way, if its a mistake to ship it, its not a very big one imo, and if its a mistake to fold, its not a very big one.

"Don't you ever squeeze AQ or JJ or TT unless you are going to call a shove/shove 

over a 4bet. You are actually throwing money onto an ignited grill if you do this." -Ryan Fees

Was in the same position last weekend. Got 4 bet from late position, reluctantly got it in, guy had AA vs my QQ. Thing is that this is where stats would come in handy. A lot of people at these levels get in with TT and JJ, but you have to know who. In a 6 max game, I'd get it in and chalk it down as a cooler anyway.

1.what his 4bet range?if he light 4bet with jj tt or axs,U should 5bet get allin.

2.3bet utg is like a bluff or value,because it is a too strong hand  with 3bet utg.

3.what ur 3bet plan,fold to 4bet?or get allin?if u want to fold to 4bet,I think it is better to call.

to avoid situations like this you could simply just delete your 3betrange vs UTG totally...Even though some hands get trickey postflop, you never have thouse kind of trouble and most villains will not recognize and put you on wrong ranges later on...as played, i prefer foldig as well
