Default 2 QQ Hands

Both fairly standard and common situations, having trouble staying at a full table for more than 10 mins so no reads.

Hand 1:

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.25/$0.50
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
Hero: $57.80
UTG+1: $50
CO: $40.65
Button: $46.20
SB: $31.25
BB: $54.75

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $2</font>, UTG+1 calls, 3 folds, BB calls.

Flop: J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($6.25, 3 players)
BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $4</font>, UTG+1 calls, BB folds.

Turn: A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($14.25, 2 players)
Hero?

Here I wasnt sure wether to to bet &amp; fold to a raise (default if it wasnt A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]) or to check fold. In the actual hand I check called but I think this was the worst option available. Opinions?

Hand 2:

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.25/$0.50
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $21.25
UTG+1: $55.80
CO: $20.45
Button: $83.50
Hero: $70.40
BB: $23.65

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 raises to $2</font>, 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $6</font>, BB folds, <font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 raises to $20</font>,

Hero ??

This is a fairly common situation and with reads I think I handle it ok, villain had appeared aggro 30/20 but only over about 30 hands so reluctantly folded it, I'd happily raise it to 20 but not call it oop, is this a standard fold and what do you look for to make this a call / push?

Default Re: 2 QQ Hands

The first hand to me is a bet/fold.

I push a lot with the second hand, and see JJ and AK almost as often as AA and KK. To just call this(which is usually bad), you have to be playing way deeper than you so you can play for set equity.
