Default goofball play/QQ?

I'm sorry, I don't have any info on players here except to say pfr wasn't maniacal. I was multi-tabling and had just sat down here a few hands earlier. Missing pfrr was a mistake (hit "call" by accident since I had a hand going on another table).

My problem with these hands/boards is trying to feel out others and take control if I can vs. calling down (which I can't stand - sorry).

My first question is, is the flop raise completely out of line given the board (in retrospect I think it is; kinda bonzai)?

Second question is, what do you make of the turn action?

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, Hero calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, BB calls.

Flop: (8.50 SB) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, CO folds, BB folds, UTG+1 calls.

Possibly the obligatory pfr flop bet. I really wanted to get this down to me/pfr and try to get a cheap read on what he might be playing. Had I been rr I was planning to fold if it was just the two of us. Me improving is a long shot so I probably should've just stayed a passenger.

Turn: (6.25 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero caps</font>, UTG+1 calls.

When he led out I was wondering with my pf "call"/flop rr if he had me on spade draw. With the turn 'blank', his lead and being 3-bet I was thinking AQ (or misplayed AK maybe) so I felt safe capping. JT didn't make sense for utg pfr.

Given that AA/KK was also possible/likely (except him not capping flop after the other two had folded), would it have been more intelligent to let him lead and call down instead of reraising?

I'm not posting this because I hit a miracle card after a foolish(?) flop raise. I was behind the whole way to KK. </font>
