Default Am I beat here? (QQ post flop)

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (10 handed) converter

CO (t3254)
Button (t1685)
SB (t3760)
BB (t2483)
UTG (t3080)
<font color="#C00000">UTG+1 (t3470)</font>
<font color="#C00000">Hero (t2263)</font>
MP1 (t4430)
MP2 (t8030)
MP3 (t1465)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to t500</font>, Hero calls t500, <font color="#666666">7 folds</font>.

Flop: (t1225) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets t1000</font>, Hero ???.

Villain had previously limp re-raised 55 all-in UTG against me, and lost, and had built his stack up. Other than that, I only saw him play one hand (his KKKJJ vs AAJJ).

Pre-flop, I wanted to make sure that no A or K came on the flop. While the call was 1/4 of my stack, I'd rather confidently fold and have 1500 left if an A or K came, then get in a coin flip and lose it all... so, I smooth-called pre-flop because I wanted to make sure that no A or K came, and then the money would go in. I realize that if I fold after the flop, I have 10xBB. But, I think that is better than 0xBB.


However, after the flop, what could I beat with the way he was betting? I could not beat AA, KK, JJJ, 999, which are hands that he could have raised pre-flop with. I could beat AK (although AKc / AQc would be scary), AJ (with AJc being really scary). However, I ruled out JJJ and 999, because I don't think he would bet that much after the flop, he'd probably go for all of my chips with a check-raise.

I also think he would straight push all-in after the flop with any Ax flush draw.

So, ruling those two hands out, and ruling out the flush draw, I am only losing to AA and KK. With the exception of AJo, what hands can I beat here? What's my play?
