Have to say I agree with Ariston and Flushy here , there is no way you can put him on a big hand in that situation even if he is a total rock its still a pretty standard tournement move - he isnt betting his hand at this point he is betting that yours isnt good enough. Good players are aware of the potential dangers of calling with any hand tho getting away from the flop here would be difficult. So what if the guy just calls with the qq? you will either reraise preflop or just check if you check the chips go in the middle on the flop no question about it, if you reraise your likley facing an all in bet preflop , then it will come down to how much you have invested already, your stack if you fold and what you feel you chances of getting your stack back on track are.

I disagree with calling heads-up in the SB BB as you will miss the flop 66% of the time and give your money to the raiser. I think you should either re-raise v A steal raise (he will pass  > 50% pre flop) and then bet the flop if he calls, or just pass. You should not enter any pot Heads-Up not being the aggressor in my view, multi-way is different as you the original raiser will be less likely to bluff you with someone else in the pot.

Secondly, you can call with any crap on the button v a weak player who will check if he has missed.
