Actually, there's 2 spots where this hand works great:
1) 3bet HU pot in position
2) limped/singleraised multiway (at least 4 people) pot.
In first case, we have overpair value and we can profitably play our FDs aggressively. In the second one we are mainly looking to flop a top set, getting great implied odds.
When we see the flop 5-way flopping a set of queens has huge implied odds. Pot has so much dead money, that people will be stacking off with draws that have 8 outs to the nuts and also hands as weak as overpairs (in many flops).
If we don't flop gin (set of queens, 346, 46Jr, 557, 775, 777, 555 and such) we are getting away cheap.
