Do _you_ lose more or less than I did on this hand?

PS $10 SNG

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) converter

MP2 (t1420)
Hero (t1480)
CO (t1450)
Button (t1460)
SB (t1480)
BB (t1340)
UTG (t1440)
UTG+1 (t1220)
MP1 (t2210)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
2 folds, MP1 calls t20, MP2 calls t20, Hero raises to t100, 2 folds, SB calls t90, 1 fold, MP1 folds, MP2 calls t80.

Flop: (t340) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, MP2 bets t20, Hero raises to t180, SB raises to t340, MP2 folds, Hero calls t160.

How do you interpret the min reraise? Do you think you're beat or perhaps that he is trying to find out if his lower PP (99-JJ?) is good? Anyway, I find it too difficult to just drop QQ here.

Turn: (t1040) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks.

River: (t1040) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets t260, Hero calls t260.

Final Pot: t1560

Results in white below: 
SB has Ah As (two pair, aces and sixes).
Hero has Qh Qs (two pair, queens and sixes).
Outcome: SB wins t1560. 

How would you have fared here?

I'd play it exactly the same way. I'm quite sure that is a leak of mine, but really don't know what to do better.

I often push on the flop here, depending on the opponent. The better the player the more likely I am to push since my huge overbet will be interpreted as a steal.

shove the flop

Pushing to the 3 bet is bleeding chips.

In a $50, I put him squarely on a set and fold the flop. In a $10, good calldown.
