Default QQ OOP, how would you play it?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

MP2 is a LAG. PT is showing 31.93%/21.96%/3.13/14.81% (VP$IP/PFR/Post Flop agg factor/WtSD)

The previous hand I watched MP2 raise with QTo, fire a pot sized bet at a flop of rags. Fire another pot size bet on a missed turn. Check call a 1/2 pot bet on the river to show Q high.

MP2 ($111.15)
MP3 ($94.50)
CO ($147.56)
Button ($211.90)
SB ($119.17)
BB ($100)
UTG ($98.84)
Hero ($127)
UTG+2 ($83)
MP1 ($97.50)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $4</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP2 calls $4, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Button calls $4, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>.

Flop: ($13.50) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets $12</font>, Button folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $24</font>, MP2 calls $12.

Good flop for Q's. I'm not liking my position so I tried to turn it around a bit and set up for a check raise with an aggressor on my left. Is this a good line so far? Should I've raised more? Or is this line against the idea of playing a pair for a small pot? Should I've called?

Turn: ($61.50) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $25</font>, MP2 calls $25.

Okay, that's not a great turn card. I just watched him take overcards to the river. What do I do here? Should I've fired more or go weak tight and check/fold?

River: ($111.50) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets $35</font>, Hero calls $35.

The previous hand is really ringing in my head when he bets. I put him on a A, but I just could not get away from the Q's. I guess I was hoping for a KJ. Should've laid this down getting 4 to 1 on my money?

Final Pot: $181.50

I am not concerned with the results. I would like to know what others think of how I played the hand.

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has Qh Qc (one pair, queens).
MP2 has Ac As (three of a kind, aces).
Outcome: MP2 wins $181.50. </font>
