no
unless I know villain pretty well I just shove pre.
I think it's just a cooler.

Cooler, can't get away from QQ here imo. I mean, what kind of flops are you waiting for to get it in with queens? ;)

Definitely dont ever fold in this spot against an unknown, if you have prior history with this player and you think he is only raising with two pair or better then you can consider a fold.
Also your three bet preflop is a little on small side you are giving him to good implied odds, I would be making a raise here to 150- 170.
@jacksalive: villain is the one who 3bets here ;-)
With Jacks or Queens, I'd never flat this 3bet here - I simply don't want to see any overcard on the flop. I'd flat with Aces or Kings, but always 4bet this with TT-QQ to get it in. You don't have to 4bet-shove here (though it won't be wrong to do so), doing to it somewhere around 500-700 would be fully enough.
Post-flop (if I had AA/KK here), there's absolutely no need to pot this. After he 3bets and checks to you, you could even underbet this to about 20-30% pot-size on a flop like this to induce action from him - it's very unlikely that he's 3betting you with T8, so you don't have to be worried about any draws here, so if you have Aces or Kings here, there aren't really that many turn cards you need to be worried about.
If you pot this on such a dry flop, you're basically folding out all weaker hands, and also make it very difficult for him to bluff you if he missed the flop completely.
I'd just bet 100 here, flat any check/raise and reevaluate at the turn - with pocket Aces or pocket Kings I must say, not with Queens.
Running into Aces with a hand as strong as QQ is just bad luck.
@jacksalive: villain is the one who 3bets here ;-) DOH my bad i missed that one
In which case I am stacking off here all day long 4bet pre get it in, shrug your shoulders and forget about it.
I would take a note of this villains 3bet bet size in this spot though, if he is always three betting to this size then this information is irrelevant but could turn out he is betting a little smaller than normal because he wants the call and this information could prove very valuable for future hands.
