Comments welcome on all streets. How do you like the hand defining reraise? With both the calls, is it safe to assume that I have the biggest overpair about 70 percent of the time?

Don't build the pot out of position with a hand like QQ.

Either make a real raise and give them bad odds to chase their set, or smooth call it and go for a flop check/raise. Your just giving smaller pairs an improved chance of taking your whole stack if the flop comes all unders.
