Default $1.20 SNG on Absolute with QQ in SB

Thoughts on how I played this hand. I really can't tell if I played it well or not. I thought I did during the hand but now that i've gone back and looked; I'm not so sure.

Absolute Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t10/t20
9 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t2570
UTG+1: t820
MP1: t3200
MP2: t1440
MP3: t1220
CO: t910
Button: t380
Hero: t1480
BB: t1480

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG calls t20 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t30)</font>, UTG+1 folds, <font color="#cc0000">MP1 raises to t80</font>, MP2 calls t80 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t130)</font>, MP3 calls t80 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t210)</font>, CO folds, Button calls t80 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t290)</font>, Hero calls t70 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t370)</font>, 2 folds.

Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (t440, 5 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets t300</font>, MP1 calls t300 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t740)</font>, 3 folds.

Turn: T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (t1040, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets t480</font>, <font color="#cc0000">MP1 raises to t960</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises all-in t1100</font>, MP1 calls t140 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t3100)</font>.

River: : (t3240, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: t3240)


Results:
Final pot: t3240

Pre flop: Table is fairly loose and with this many players already in I'm going to have at least a couple of callers which makes me oop after the flop. So I decide to limp and bet out at a favorable flop.

flop: Thought it was a great flop so fired at the pot.

Turn:?? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

With all of that dead money in the pot, you definitely should make a big raise. I think I overbet push over the top preflop.

Pre, re-raise to like 400... get in if the opportunity presents itself. You're giving up way too much value with QQ by just calling.

Flop is ok.

Turn, I mean there are no draws, so a hand like top pair is a big part of villain's calling range on the flop. The ten pairing isn't great for you. I'd check the turn and go from there. Hard to wrap up every possible scenario that could happen from that point, but I like checking.
