Default 10/25NL, QQvAA - Did I lose the minimum?

Playing 10/25NL @ Borgata this weekend. Somewhat shorthanded, maybe 7 at the time.

I have ~1900, BB has me well covered.

I find QQ in mid position. After a limper or 2 I raise to 75. Folds around to BB who makes it 400 to go. Folded to me and I call.

Flop comes a J high rainbow. BB bets 150 and I raise 500 on top. After much thought and debating outloud whether I flopped a set on him BB reraises me all in (about 800 more at this point). This puts me in the tank for a while.. Finally BB says 'I think you are drawing to 2 outs'. My response is 'Well I'm sure one of us is'. After another minute of thought I say 'I think its more likely to be me here' and muck my queens face up. BB is a gentleman and shows me his aces.

So, did I lose the minimum here? Did I miss an easy laydown preflop? I knew BB was rocksolid player. Should I have just smoothcalled the flop bet and hoped to catch a set later? Any thoughts welcome. Thanks.
