Pokerstove doesn't take into account villain's 3bet calling range. When you 3bet you are either A) Doing it for value willing to stack off preflop, or B) doing it as a bluff, intending to either fold to a 4b or 5b bluff yourself.

Most villains (especially at micros) don't 4b bluff. Therefore, a 4b from them means they have a rather tight range (KK+, AK). QQ doesn't do too well against that range, so if you 3bet and get 4b you will probably do good to fold. Therefore, you just turned QQ into a 3b bluff. And QQ is way too good of a hand to bluff with. You would have been better off 3bet bluffing with a hand that is not profitable to call with, such as weak suited aces.

DUC what I'm trying to say?
