Default Live 1/2 QQ 275BBs deep

Just got back from an eventful live 1/2 session at my favorite underground Philly club (60-250 buyin pre 1 am, 500 max buy after). One of the things that I love about this club is that toward the end of the night the play becomes super deepstacked. I think that's my biggest issue with this hand, I know exactly how to play 100BBs deep, 150 too, but I'm little shaky with 275.

I pick up QQ UTG. We're 6 handed at this point, stacks range from ~90 to ~550. I cover all. The 550 stack is also the villain in this hand. His name is Jerry. Jerry weighs about 350 lbs, has a big beard, and is pretty easy going at the table. We've played many hours together and know each other's games quite well. Lately Jerry has taken to rotating between telling me how badly I suck and then telling other players that I'm by far the best player at the table. I think his real opinion of me is greatly skewed to the latter. His game ranges from good to average, but he's a relative shark at this place. He's a thinking player, but gets a little LAPpy PF and in small pots. He is, however, capable of making big moves, turning marginal hands into bluffs, making hero calls, etc. I respect Jerry's game when he's playing well.

Jerry's probably erring a little on the passive side tonight, but could be card dead. I just took a 300BB pot off of in the previous orbit.

I look down at Qc Qd UTG and make it 7 to go. I've been raising PF frequently though not in EP (not that I'm sure others have noticed this). This is a smallish raise in 1/2, but its a table flow thing so bear with me.

I got 2 callers behind me and the SB comes along. Jerry looks down at his cards and makes it 40 more to go. OOP he has not been 3-betting at all tonight, unless you count straddles as a raise which he can attack light (A3o, KTo, etc.). Still, I think air makes up a very small percentage of his range.

I made it 80 more (127 total). He paused and flat-called. Flop was 9s 8s 6c. He checked, I bet 160.

Thoughts? What do we do if he flat calls? Shoves?

All comments/criticisms on all streets greatly appreciated.
