It really depends, but no you likely do not want to just 3bet shove. Not because you aren't ahead of villain or anything like that, but because there are generally going to be other villains in the pot to act. It wouldn't be a good feeling to 3bet shove JJ over a 40bb stacks open only to get called by another 100bb stack who has you crushed.

Also it depends on the villain. If the villain is tight your TT-QQ might not be ahead of his preflop stackoff range. You may want to just call and get it in on safe flops.

1) As I stated I rarely 3bet TT, JJ in a FR game. Especially without reads. QQ is one of those hands that can be played profitably by either 3betting for value or calling preflop. You want to consider a few things to determine which is the most profitable at the time. If villain is opening with a tighter range (early position, just tight in general, etc), then you likely want to call and play against his looser opening range, rather than 3bet and tighten his range even more (to a range you don't fair wonderful against).

Or you can 3bet profitablye if you believe villain will either call or 4bet with enough worse hands to be profitable.

2) ISF talks about bet/folding being one of the best things a micro/low stakes grinder can do. The reason being is the majority of micro/low stakes villains major leaks are going to involve calling too often. That is, the majority of villains are going to call with a wider range of hands than they are going to bet or raise with. Therefore, when you bet/fold you can get thinner value, and when you are raised you can be relatively sure (without reads) that villain isn't doing it all that thinly and you are generally behind unless you have a relatively strong hand.

3) I just want to make a note here about ranges. You ALWAYS want to consider not only villains range, but also your range. For instance, when deciding to bluff in a particular spot, you want to pick a range of hands that will have the best equity with called to bluff with. For example: You feel villain cbets too often. So you decide bluff raising should be really profitable against villain. The flop is Jh7h4c. Villain cbets as usual. Say you have 33 this time. Well, sure it might be profitable to bluff raise with 33 here. However, you would much rather bluff raise with a hand like AQ [overcards], or a backdoor straight or flush draw. The reason being is if villain calls your raise your 33 likely has very little equity (two outs). However, a hand like AQ has upward of 6 outs.

Just some more things to think about.
