I want to get some discussion going about this hand. First off, I realize I probably should have poppped it up preflop. Honestly, the player made the suspicious min-raise preflop which I had seen him do with either aces or a drawing hand (pp or suited connector). I was hoping to see a cheap flop and then either hit a queen or the right flop and proceed from there.
The weird thing about this hand was the play on the flop of course - I took everyone checking except an odd halfpot sized bet into 3 players to mean that everyone missed (turns out this was correct) - so I reraised up to 30BBs. Now the problem of course was that I was worried that I was up against a set - but I figured odds are I had the raising player beat and would either pick up the pot or would worst case lose only his stack size in chips.
When the checking player moved in, I had no idea what to do with his hand range. It just seemed more likely he had a hand like 88, 99, TT, JJ, QQ, KK, or AA than Ahxh. I honestly did not even consider that he might be on a draw like that (I would never dream of semi-bluffing into a raise and reraise!). I decided that I could only beat a few of the hands that make that play so I folded. :(
Any thoughts on this hand would be great... - should I have seen through his raise? Should I have simply called on the flop? Should I have just reraised preflop and accepted that if he came over the top I would have to fold?

I think you played the hand fine. I think QQ is a pretty hard hand to play pre-flop because you really feel like you need to re-raise but if the guy pushes, it becomes very hard to call. I think with that weak raise preflop I bumb it up to atleast 4bb, you know he's probably gonna call but you don't want to let hands like A/x and K/x get into the pot.
I think you played the flop fine, these guys are insane - add them to your friends list and follow them around, you'll get your money back.
