Default Is this QQ push good?

Is this QQ push too aggressive considering the opponent play and blinds/stack? Should I have instead raised to 800 and then folded if the two respond with all-ins? Or is the play bad enough that this is worth it despite not being desperately shortstacked?

$109 NL SNG

Seat 10 is the button
Total number of players : 6
Seat 3: rrs3141 (2150)
Seat 5: mjjakes3838 (2865)
Seat 7: ligal0135 (750)
Seat 8: scottdowler (1380)
Seat 9: HERO (1990)
Seat 10: Fendsi (865)
rrs3141 posts small blind (50)
mjjakes3838 posts big blind (100)
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to HERO [ Qh, Qc ]
ligal0135 calls (100)
scottdowler raises (300) to 300
HERO raises (1990) to 1990
HERO is all-In.

That's just stupid. Putting half your stack in and then folding.

You want to raise, a pot-sized raise would be 1150 which pot-commits you anyway. All-in seems fine.

If someone has AA-KK then that sucks.

Hell no. If you don't know that, you don't belong in $109. That's a simple fact.

There are only two hands pre-flop that are ahead. Why would you be scared if you got all your chips in?
