Default Loose Passive Table, QQ preflop in mid position

The game is 1-2 cash NLTH.

At this table of 9 you have 5 or 6 or 7 players taking the flop every time. There is little preflop raising. When there is a small to moderate pre-flop raise 75% of the limpers call to see the flop. When you overbet preflop 50% of the limpers (typically) call. You have been run down by multiple draws that call after you overbet top pair/top kicker post-flop. This has happened several times. There are 3 good players at this table and they are playing tight which is typical for them. One of them appears to be taking flops with any 2 random cards in late positions for 1 bet when he can.

Players are seeing the flop with ace-any, or any 2 suited cards and/or any hand with a picture card and a sidecard greater than a 7.

Now for the hand. You are in mid position with 3 limpers in front of you and the rest of the table behind you.

You hold QQ.

Given the situation, what is the ideal play before the flop?

All IN!!! You will get 6 callers and lose the pot, but who cares you're there for the drama anyway.
