1/2 NL Live

I am MP2 with QQ (470ish in chips)

UTG Raises to 7.00, 1 fold, MP 1 calls, I raise to 20.00, folds back to UTG who calls, MP1 pushes all in for 79.00 more, I...???

63.00 in pot + the 79.00 reraise. 79 more to me, and UTG has about 75 left.

UTG is a very loose player, raises any two cards from any position and I am confident I am ahead of him right now. But the call/reraise has me worried. In this game the only hand I see people doing this with is aces. I was pretty deep stacked at this point and had both players covered.

The more I think about his play, the more I feel like I am facing aces. Can I really lay this down?

Call/reraise tells me has aces or kings. If you're lucky he has AK and you are marginally ahead so I think its a fold.

Fold. Unless you really read him as a maniac, to reraise a 10BB raise, he must have AA/KK. Even LAG players get good hands now and then.

Yes. Unless you're playing above your bankroll and can't let go of those 10$.

Bankroll isn't a problem for this game.

I'm just wondering if getting nearly 2 to 1 (3 to 1 if UTG calls which I felt was likely) on my money if I want to go to war with queens. On the bright side, I can't lose anymore than 79.00 more on this hand since I was the big stack, on the other side, I could be a 80/20 dog in the hand.
