    Do I have NFI?

    Should I have called the allin flop bet? This guy had been in 70% of hands during the session and with the low flop, I assumed I was good.

    Your thoughts on this $41 pot?

    honestly I don't think you were ready to fold them ladies.. by you checking the dry board he had no choice but to shove... at this point you probably had him on 10 10 or JJ so it was an easy call for you until you saw the turn had you up and dancing for wtg!!

    This is a bit of a toughie.

    You say he had been in on 70% of the hands, but I can't imagine he was some sort of maniac 3-betting those 70%.
    Was there any previous history about his 3-betting range? With QQ in the BB I'm sure I'm at least seeing the flop although if the flop is Axx or Kxx you're going to have a lot to think about, not to mention if he has a pair bigger than you to start. . .

    On the flop -- maybe it's just me and the way I get myself in trouble -- I'm more likely donk-leading into him for somewhere between $4 and $6 and let him try to figure out if I've flopped top set or not. If he shoves over you you're probably in trouble. [I usually am.] If he's sneaky and thinks you're trying to buy it he may just call and try to get you all in on the turn or river depending on what comes. But checking gave him the option to put you to the tough decision on a board you're not likely to have caught much of. Once that happened you were likely either outgunned by a bigger pair or a coin flip at best. [If lucky maybe you're up against AQ or JJ.]

    Had you given any thought to a possible 4-bet pre-flop to maybe ~$7? Maybe get him to fold the weaker end of his 3-bet range and take the pot without worrying about the flop? [4-bet shove might be overdoing it.] If he folds, great; if he 5-bets back at you, uh-oh; if he just calls he may have to worry about a K or Q on the flop.

    wow that is a tough spot, not enough history, not super deep,

    was he raising any garbage hands?

    his preflop raise size screams strength

    i can argue either way given what you have said about his play
