Default Pocket Queens from Small Blinds

Hi, this hand is 6 handed 2/4 NL. I've got Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in the small blind. My stack is around $205, everybody else has me covered.

3 people limp, and I raise to $24 from the small blinds. The big blind (who seems to be trying to trap me frequently) and one limper both call. I think the table views me as something of a maniac at this point because I just won the last hand open raising to $12 with 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] when I rivered a flush.

Flop is :

2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

My main question is what's the play here? I think my hand is probably still good. The BB could possibly have either AK or KQ, but also would have called with many other hands. The limper probably has a hand like Ax suited, or a medium pocket pair.

I decided to bet out for $100 hoping to take the hand down there. I get called by the limper. Turn is A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] . I wind up check - calling all-in and losing to A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] .

Thinking back on the hand, I guess should have just pushed on the flop to prevent the limper from getting the implied odds to call. I don't usually make plays like that, but I guess this is a situation where it's warranted.

Any other better ways to play this hand?
