Re: QJs in SB
PF: Yes, barring reads, raising QJs is something I'd do in LP, certainly not in the SB. You are first to act. If BB is indeed passive, it's not too bad that he calls. Did Button try to blindsteal earlier? If so, how did BB behave? If he folds every time, of course you don't like his call. Otherwise, it might not indicate too much...
Flop: Betting is good, I'd say it's mandatory. Any loose player will most likely bet anyway if the pfr is not betting himself. I wouldn't fold to a raise though. Middle pair/good kicker is not too bad. Especially if you've seen Button show down bottom pair before. Why can't he have crap like that now also?
None of your outs are particularily clean, KTo is a hand many raise from the Button or call with from the BB - so your queens are probably dirty. Your Js are probably safe. So 2 for the J, 1,5 for the Q, 1,5 for the FD, and 1 for the SD. You've got odds to continue - and you have a reasonable chance of having the best hand here. So I wouldn't outright fold to a raise!
Turn: Bet is good, I wouldn't reraise though. Someone might already have KQ or 78. The only really safe outs are your flush and probably the JJ outs.
You don't mind a raise, but you might be behind, so why add oil to the fire?
River: Why did you miss everything? You still have your MPGK. And as of now, noone has made you believe those aren't good anymore. That said, The T _is_ somewhat intimidating and I'd probably c/c as well.
I don't think you've played this too bad. After your pfr, the rest of the hand was pretty much fine, imo.
