UTG is playing pretty tight preflop but going apeship postflop in very minimal hands on him, hence my flat pre. BU is a tag who plays 37/25 over my 2.5k sample. BB is relatively unknown as I only have 30 hands on him but he's playing 20/20 with 10% 3bet and no steal%. I got completely lost in this hand and wanted to 4bet jam but we are a little deep and I think it's rare to see an unknown 50NLer squeeze lightly in this spot. On the flop, UTG insta shoves when checked to. I definitely think he can be the type to slowplay AA or KK in this spot, but can probably have like TT/JJ as well. I was afraid of what was also behind me. Can I fold earlier? Should I just jam preflop? Am I gay?

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (5 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Button ($68.70)
SB ($50)
BB ($71.40)
UTG ($152.65)
Hero (MP) ($86.15)

Preflop: Hero is MP with Q, Q
UTG raises to $1.75, Hero calls $1.75, Button calls $1.75, 1 fold, BB raises to $9, UTG calls $7.25, Hero calls $7.25, Button calls $7.25

Flop: ($36.25) 9, 5, 6 (4 players)
BB checks, UTG bets $143.65 (All-In), Hero folds, 2 folds

Total pot: $36.25 | Rake: $1.80

lol, this makes so little sense. I'm guessing he flopped a set and wants to get paid by...well you. So nice fold.

I'm fine with the initial PF call, not so sure about the second one. I might be tempted to just backraise and get it in. 4 way flop with QQ doesnt sound like fun.
Just playing to improve.

Yeah my initial reaction was to backraise and get it in but then my selective memory was like wtf don't! Then I thought about it and was like hmm I really doubt people squeeze light in this spot a lot at 50NL especially since we are deep and UTG is really bad. Once he checks flop all I can think of is the BB having AK.

I go with this if I didn't see the flop action(I wish you would have edited out everything postflop). I stack off here, b/c you just don't have a good enough read over 30 hands on BB and he has already 3bet before, this could be a bad squeeze and your backraise should get called light.

BTW, go to a table with more fish if these are your reads.
Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

meh...depends how crazy he is doing, and what kind of range of hands he's showing up with. If he's going crazy and showing bluffs... I might call here. If he's going crazy and always has it.. I'll probably find a fold.
