Default QQ first hand of tournament

PokerStars! $5+$0.50 tournament.

First hand of the tournament and I have no notes on anyone at the table.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) converter

Button (t1500)
SB (t1500)
BB (t1500)
UTG (t1500)
UTG+1 (t1500)
Hero (t1500)
MP2 (t1500)
MP3 (t1500)
CO (t1500)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls t20, UTG+1 calls t20, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t60</font>, MP2 calls t60, MP3 folds, CO calls t60, Button folds, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t1500</font>, BB folds, UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, <font color="red">Hero ??? </font>

I know I should have raised more PF with the 2 limpers in front, but I don't really like my pocket QQ that much with 2 limpers and so many people left to act behind me on the first hand of the tournament. When SB pushes I was thinking that my hand is most likely best right now, but there are still 2 people to act behind me when it gets around to me. This seems to me to be a good example of a +$chip EV but -$EV play. I know how I played it and I know how it feels like it should be played, but comments and opinions on this are greatly appreciated.
