Default pushing all-in preflop with Q Q

Was this a major foul up ?

Hero is in EP with Q Q

Hero $40
Villain $10
MP1 $70
MP2 $45

MP1 raises nearly every round. I figured I'd let him do the raising.

Hero calls
MP1 raises to $2
MP2 calls
Villain on button pushes all-in for $10

Hero ?

What is the move here ? Just call off 1/4th of my stack ?

Depends on your opponent. But probably a call.

Why aren't you raising this when the action gets to you? Also blinds and stack sizes are pretty important here; it would be nice to see how much MP1 and MP2 have as well, since you could be looking at a reraise if you call. From this limited information, I would say this is a pretty straight forward call though.

Don't have PT but villain was a horrible player. On a flop of K J 3 7

I saw him betting his 9 3o all the way to the river. Astonishing.

Just call here then ? I chose to push my $40 all-in preflop and push out the other two players. That was dumb. Very dumb. The other 2 folded like I wanted but that was way two risky.

After the hand, one of the guys who raises said, set of 6's in the chat box. I guess he raised with 66 . I perhaps saved some money by pushing all-in there and isolating but I doubt I pull this move again.

Right, save your isolation raises for your smaller pairs. As far as I can figure, the idea is to use them so you only face 2 overcards instead of 3 or 4. With QQ, there are always only 2 overs.

Villain had A 8 o . I lost the hand. He hit a pair of aces on the flop and two pair on the turn.

But if you got all your money in with QQ against A8o, you won! Once you see why, all of the criticism you take here at 2+2 will go away and you will become a much better poker player.
