Default QQ against maniac

Opponent in this hand was super-aggressive: 40% VPIP, 11% PFR, and an off-the-scale postflop aggression level. (The actual number was 37, but obviously it's a small sample size -- only 34 hands. So to be fair he might not be a maniac and may have just had some good cards lately.)

Party Poker $50 No-Limit Hold'em, $1 BB (9 handed) converter

Button ($169.2)
Hero ($50)
BB ($53.9)
UTG ($102.05)
UTG+1 ($57.45)
MP1 ($29)
MP2 ($79.45)
MP3 ($48.5)
CO ($43.1)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $0.5.
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to $4</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero (poster) calls $3.50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Flop: ($9) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets $5</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $15</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to $60</font>, Hero?

On the flop my logic is that I'm happy to see that QQ is an overpair, I check because this guy is so aggressive he's sure to bet it (although come to think of it that's foolish and I probably should have bet anyway and hoped for a raise). Then when he does bet I put in a decent sized raise. He then pushes enough money to cover my stack -- I'm inclined to put him on AJ and call, but is this wishful thinking?
