Default New to tourneys, question about early play (with hand example)

I have read both HoH books and have more experience in small stakes SnG's and NLHE ring games. I'll post the hand first.

Tourney from last night - Party $10+1, starting chips of 1000, 4 hands in.

Relevant stacks - everyone involved has around 1000.

Blinds 10/15. I get QQ in MP+2, UTG+1 min-raises to 30, couple callers, I raise to 100. Folds around to UTG+1, he calls. UTG+2 calls, the rest fold, 3 to flop.

Flop comes J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

Draw heavy board but no reason to believe that I don't have the current best hand and can probably get 1 or both of the others in the hand to call an all-in bet since I expect some maniacal play early in a small stakes Party tourney. I wouldn't mind them folding either.

UTG+1 bets 30, UTG+2 calls, I raise all-in.


So my question is - when I know the early maniacs will call for all their chips with a draw, even multi-way, should I make this move every time, or is it better to avoid these longball situations and try to survive and accumulate with smaller bets and better spots?
