imo you could've folded (as u did) or could've called- it's a tricky spot- qq is somewhat of a hard hand to fold, but you easily can end up against kk/aa & be dominated, or ak making it a lottery call...yeah now you can look back & say- fcuk he had 77 why didn't i call, but if you saw him having kk, you probably wouldn't even started this thread? anyways good luck at the tables, you're a good player, you'll win your fair share of tourneys

Yes iso bets usually are a bit weaker, especially when the person re-raising is big stacked and the shover is >10BB, however the fact that this is a UTG shove and a UTG-Re pop has me concerned. Typically, unless the players a total retard, EP re-pops like that are usually stronger so it somewhat narrows the re-popers range.
Sure QQ is a monster, but not much so in a 3-way spot as you lose so much equity with PP in multi-way pots. I'm guessing UTG is shoving 22+, any face and any ace. Most of that we have dominated. However knowing this, UTG+2 is likely re-raising to isolate with any bigger PP and bigger face cards. Probably still any ace, since it's a freeroll and donks just cant get away from any ace hands. However, given UTG+2 pretty much has us covered, and even the shover puts us at >20BB if they win, it's iffy.
Honestly, I'd probably tank for a bit, then call and smash something if one of them shows AA or KK
I also wouldn't argue with folding the hand either. Without reads, either move is good.
