Flatting with QQ and face aggression

Blinds: $0.05/$0.10 (9 Players) UTG: $18.46
MP: $11.17
UTG+1: $11.10
MP+1: $10.00
MP+2: $11.87 (Hero)
CO: $11.81
BN: $10.55
SB: $11.74
BB: $10.32
Preflop ($0.15) Hero is MP+2 with Q Q
UTG folds, MP raises to $0.30, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.30, 3 folds, BB raises to $1.30, MP calls $1.00, Hero calls $1.00
Recently been looking to flat QQ and AK more often especially against EP and MP opens.

Villian is 11/11 with aggro factor of 3.0 but only over 36 hands. So generally pretty readless
Flop ($3.95) 3 T 6
BB bets $1.88, MP folds, Hero calls $1.88
Great flop. Don't see the need to raise and fold out all his bluffs.
Turn ($7.71) 3 T 6 J
BB bets $3.68, Hero folds
Villian doesn't slow down with his aggression and it appears that I now only beat AK or a flush draw. TT and JJ obviously get/got there.
Final Pot BB wins $7.36
Rake is $0.35

Not sure if I find myself giving up too easily in these sort of situations so thought I would hear peoples opinions. Interesting points of thought

1) Flatting QQ preflop?
2) Raise the flop and getting it in?
3) Flat calling the turn and just going with the hand?

Hope to hear your thoughts! Greatly appreciated

I think this is very well played as is.

  1. Flatting QQ preflop?
  2. I think we can do both flatting and 3b. Flatting is definitely fine.

2.Raise the flop and getting it in?
- I think we are overplaying our hand and will isolate bigger pairs and very high equity draws too often. Calling flop is the highest EV play.

3.Flat calling the turn and just going with the hand?
- I don't think it's that great on this specific turn. For one, our range is very protected, in that we play QQ this way we also play TT and JJ this way as well. I would rather peel turn with additional equity like a fd with a pair for example. Also holding QQ we block some potential straight draw bluffs he can have as well.
