My thought process was that shoving with Q Q would be a +EV move since there was dead money in the pot, and I had a relatively agressive image. Should i be flatting preflop instead and see a flop with my queens? I feel like I played the hand really bad looking back, but I would like the input of some pros to see what they think. Don't hesitate to bash my play, I can take it. Remember, I'm posting this to learn from my mistake.
standard spot you played it perfectly
dont try to overanalyse things and play this hand differently b/c every other way to play it has a lower EV in the long run
yes you will save chips folding this flop this time
but the 22,44,55,66,77 and possibly TT and JJ that you will stack by jamming have a chance to fold post flop
not to mention the times you flat and see the flop and check fold to an inferior hand
