Default QQ on flushed board. Am I crazy or logically brave?

Third hand at table. I'd just won second with a c-bet. Would now raise pf higher to get rid of some of the villains, but at the time didn't know 4XBB+1 would get so many callers. This flop is icky but I remember reading a made flush on the flop is statistically not all that high (seems like maybe 16% or so) and hated to just throw my hand away there without taking a stab. Without the c-bet, I knew someone would take the pot. On the turn, I found myself with a very nice set. Didn't want to check it as I figured villain would take control and I'd have to push when I wasn't crazy about doing so. Nonetheless, his checkraise resulted in my either having to walk away or to throw my last several dollars in. By then, I thought it was the correct move mathmatically.

I'll post the results later, but I'd appreciate comments on all please.
