Did I overbet monster?

$2-$4 NL. 1 limper MP, I'm in BB, raise to $14 with QQ, limper calls($30). Flop comes Q-10-5, 2 spades. I bet $30, limper min-raises to $60, my call will make the pot $150, I raise $125 more and he folds. Should I have blown him out of the pot like that with the nuts? Bet less? Smooth call? I felt I had to 3-bet, I didn't want to call, check 4th st and maybe give him a free river, I didn't want to give him free turn either because I can't lay my hand down on 4th st no matter what hits.

Looks good. The threebet is absolutely correct, amount looks good too.

Then your play was good. If you really can't lay your hand down, then a push might be in order.

A push isn't bad here because villian will call with a lot of lesser hands. Especially since enough players will push with their flush draws.

I push over the minraise.
