Was my raise for info/protection correct or am I missing value/being too mubsy?
Your raise was absolutely alright. BB seems to be pretty aggressive and he would certainly donk out any pair. I was considering to just call because of the fact that SB could overcall with a small pocketpair and you could wait for his response. I guess BB is rarely donking out with trips. People use to slowplay those hand and they usually don't admit right away on the Flop "hey dude, got trips..."
SB does not have outs against you. With QQ i'd rather raise and shut out SB because the pot is big and he could potentially peel once with AJ AQ and being him and getting almost 1:14 its legitimate for him to call on his potential outs. Although he'S crushed when somebody has got Kx. I would just call the flop to keep SB because the problem is that if BB is going to 3bet. What are you gonna da?
Do you think he'S that aggressive that you can keep being aggressive youself and cap the flop or raise the Turn again? I don't feel that good with having trips on the flop but if he'S that maniac that he seems to be by looking at the stats you could raise to induce more action but if were planning to just call down on his 3bet then rather keep sb in until the river was dealt and consider a raise there or if BB is not paying off or rebluffing that often just call the River as well and hope that SB'S gonna showdown TT JJ.
Thanks First,
In the hand they both got scared and folded and I was thinking what a waste of a pair of aces.
I took the pot down though, so that can't be too terrible 
Nevermind for my evaluation! But nice to hear that you're thankful. Better taking down the pot as getting owned by trips but your goal is not to only win pots but extract the most money out of your opponents hands. BB is kind of weak with his donk. Was probably an information donkbet with a pocketpair or something else but almost never trips. Next time remember my words and slowplay.

That why i like playing aggressive, specially after rasing with AK or KQ, no one gives me any credit and sometimes get 2 guys to pay all over to the river and at least one paying for SD 
Aggressive play FTW 
U go Borisian, good raise IMO, don't see him in front of you if he doesn't raise. Flop raise is cheap info
