Default QQ Level 2 behind a raise and reraise

Both UTG & MP1 are loose and have shown down some ugly hands so the raise EP didnt mean anything special. They could both make this play with with a pretty wide range that I was way ahead of, including Ax which is the reason I wanted to see the flop without commiting too many chips.
Anyway, how is my action?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (7 handed) converter

Hero (t1030)
CO (t730)
Button (t1837)
SB (t615)
BB (t1555)
UTG (t1585)
MP1 (t648)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t60</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises to t125</font>, Hero calls t125, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Button calls t125, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t190</font>, MP1 calls t65, Hero calls t65, Button calls t65.

Flop: (t805) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets t200</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises to t458 (All-In)</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t840 (All-In)</font>, Button folds, UTG folds.

Turn: (t2303) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

River: (t2303) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t2303

Ure play is horrible IMO, u must push queens on that situation u describe and if u have some kinda mega read then fold but please dont call with QQ( if u feel tricky u might slowplay AA, but slowplay QQ!!QQ!!!thats suicidal)

I don't find it that terrible. Hero can call PF and push any flop without a K or A. This is lvl2, you know... If it was lvl4, than it's an auto-push.

I think its more profitable to push right away, we dont want a good play we want the best. ( calling with qq is not horrible but is clearly not the best play IMO)

I have no problem with the first call. But given his reads not pushing after that call was re-raised is a very, very poor play.

As for the post flop play I think the push is fine given your reads.

Push preflop the first time, or reraise.

Definitely push preflop after the minraise and action gets around to you.
