Default Should I call here?

3-6 blind live NL game, 4 handed. I open UTG for 25 which is in the range of my standard opening bet. I get called by a fella playing on the button kinda tight and straight forward from what I've seen. The blinds fold.

The flop is Q72r and I bet 25. Dude raises to 50 and I raise to 125 and he calls. Turn is a middle card that puts up two hearts and I bring out a stack of green chips planning to bet 150. I cut out 75 and before I can finish my motion the dude goes all in for 400, so I leave the 75 and bring my stack back. There's some comment about him acting before i'm done my motion, but I clearly didn't do anything wrong.

The 75's are pulled in, it's 325 for me to call and there's just short of 800 in the pot. I have 800 in front of me and pocket kings.

Reads?

Why would you threebet the flop here? I'd only do that against an idiot in which case I'd call his all in.

When he raised the flop I put him on a big queen, so I reraised because I thought I had the best hand. Is my flop play that out of line? When he called the reraise on the flop and then pushed the turn, I had to give him aces followed by pocket queens, which are both in line with his preflop play.

I love live play becuase guys only bet 25 into a 60 pot and then raise 75 into a 235 pot. If im villan I call with any pair on the flop to your weak ass reraise becuase you gave me 3-1 and position and you were going to commit yourself on the turn. I fold now becuase he hit 2 pair or a set.

I couldn't figure out why he would push without knowing how strong I was willing to lead on the turn... maybe just a total mistake on his part, but maybe he didn't want me to commit any more of his stack?

So I now have one of you saying it's crazy to reraise the flop and somebody else saying that I was too weak. Was I weak on the flop?

I folded the turn.

Lol, it's a combination of both.

Against a decent player threebetting drives out any worse queen. But if you do it you do it properly.

Sure looks like a set. AQ is the only thing I see here that you beat, compared to AA,QQ,77,22. Do you have the Kh? If so I discount a hands like KhQh. I probably just call the raise on the flop and evalate a turn. I like to take a passive line here after calling the raise, as it keeps in more hands that I'm beating. If you're going to raise, make a real raise to like 200. I really like the passive line better though. A tight, straight-forward player. I really don't think you're ahead enough and I let it go pretty quick.
