QQ. Can I fold this?

This hand happened in the 2nd hour of a $3R&A at Stars.

Villain finished the 1st hour with about 8k in chips and managed to increase his stack to 22k by entering lots of pots and playing aggressively, getting rid of the opposition or winning big pots with monsters(in the 2 hands that I could see his cards he won the pot, first with a straight and then with a full-house).

Hero finished the 1st hour with 16k and only played 2 hands in the second hour (AKs - lost to pocket deuces; and AJ - won with cBet on the flop; all the other hands he had was garbage, so he still has 16k.

So here is the hand:

PokerStars (8 handed)

Blinds:100/200/25

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

1 fold, Hero raises to 800, 1 fold, Villain raises to 2200, 4 folds, Hero calls.

Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, MP2 bets 600, Hero raises to 3000, MP2 raises to 6800, Hero ?.

Well, it smells like pocket Aces or pocket Kings a lot. Can I fold this hand or shall I raise all-in with my queens?

Was my raise of 3000 on the flop too shy?

And what can his 600 bet on the flop mean?

I think I fold QQ on this board with the line you took. Most $3 rebuy players have a small 3-bet range preflop. In addition, he re-raised your check-raise, which is something these players generally will not do with a hand like AK.

I think the only hand you are beating here is JJ, and I think you see AA and KK far more often than JJ.
