Default QQ, hows my line?

This is my first time posting a HH for review, so let me know if i messed up with how i made this post.

Basically im new to ring games. I have had a lot of success in STT and MTTs, but have grown very frustrated with them so i am trying to learn cash game strategies.

Posting this hand because it is the first big hand in which i feel i really slowed down and looked at all aspects of villian's hand objectively to make an informed decision on the river, and i would like to know if there are any improvements i could make in how i played the hand.

Another hand with QQ that had me questioning my fold...at the time i just didnt feel comfortable with making this call as villian had been very quiet up to this point...
is this a draw most of the time?

Raise more preflop 5 is not enough, raise the flop but if you are going for pot control, check behind turn, fold river as played.

yea ive seen the forum before, but never really saw higher than NL100 in there.

do most 2p2'ers who play seriously prefer 6-man tables? if so, why?

edit: geuss i dont check it enough...i see a few 400nl in there now

in the first hand...why fold river as played? my thought process was that he couldnt show up with 2 hearts here and my only concern was JJ.

and how much more should i raise PF?

thanks
