Hooks, line and sinker

I was in a live MTT with about 200 runners when the following hand came up. The blinds were 200/400 and my stack was 8600. A new player had come to the table and raised three hands in a row uncontested when I picked up Jacks. He raised again, to 1200, so I re-raised to 3000 on the button. He thought for a long time and flat-called. The flop came Q-7-2 rainbow and he immediately moved all-in. My thinking was that he didn’t have a big pair – Aces or Kings – as he would have re-raised me preflop.

Also, I discounted Queens, as the all-in move after flopping a set didn’t seem likely.
