Deep stack QQ out of poisition facing 6xBB raise...

[GaF]

How do you play QQ here? It's a 90 player $2 SnG and in general the standard is pretty poor. Middle position open raises to 6xBB. I have only seen 8 hands at the table and he has not raised pre flop before. The cut off cold calls for 20% of his stack! I think some players would discount AA or KK from the initial raiser because of the overbet - I'm not so confident - I know that at this stage of a tournament, I can overbet like that to reduce the implied odds on offer (and also because of the level be confident of getting calls from worse hands anyway).
