Default first hand of the donkament....why me

2000 starting chips, blinds 5-10

First hand UTG raises to 30, 3 callers Hero gets QQ on the button.

Raise to 100, UTG calls, another donk calls.

Flop comes 10-5-2 rainbow, UTG & Donk check to hero, hero leads 350, UTG check-pushes all in for something like 1500 more.

Hero?

Input is appreciated.

if your raise 180-200, it makes this hand A LOT easier to play. As player, the only hand you are beating here is AT/JJ. So I fold and ask myself why i didnt bet more.

Ok, thanks for the input so far, now assuming i would raise to 180 or 200 and i get a call. I still lead at this flop after he checks. and he still pushes, is it now easier to get away from?

How is this right? By raising more you are narrowing his range further, so there is a much higher chance you are behind.

Aren't you just manouevring yourself into a position where you are committed with a worse hand?

Is this live or online? What is the buyin? This is pretty read dependent. Good chance villain has a set, but this is close.

Preflop reraise is ridiculously small given the action and a tell that you have QQ-AA.
