Default too-agressive short handed?

I think my game has gotten 10x better recently, so I decided to give shorthanded play a try again. HEre is a hand that I am not sure I played correctly. It was probably my 10th hand at the table so I dont have any really good reads other than the fact that it seems like a passive crowd.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 5 handed) converter

MP ($25)
Button ($18.72)
SB ($18.58)
BB ($17.06)
Hero ($42)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. MP posts a blind of $0.5. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $2</font>, MP (poster) calls $1.50, Button calls $2, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>.

Flop: ($6.75) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $3</font>, MP calls $3, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $8</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $25</font>,

At this point I am thinking that I have a flush draw and two overcards. Worst case I am up against an ace flush draw which leaves me with 6 outs to a pair, but I cannot immagine these folks betting on a draw, too passive so far. Did I go nuts here?

I dont like playing out of position in a raised pot with Q high. Even if I'm the raiser.

Not a big fan of the preflop raise, I might do that on the button (depending on the other players), but not UTG. I figure one of them has a set, or two-pair at the very worst, so your overs are no good. You might have only the flush draw outs, and even then they might not be pure.

I don't like the play. If you had the nut flush draw that would make it a little bit better, but I think you get called here; I think you have little to no fold equity. And even if you make your flush, they're redrawing you for the house.

you, would not reriase on the flop. What did he raise you with???
Im guessing he had like TPTK or close to it and figured you had him beat somehow with an overpair or spiked set.

Believe me, I have seen people call huge reraises with only top pair.
