Default $200 NL - I Suck at Three Bet Pots?

I think my biggest leak is playing three bet pots properly. Like this. Is this right? If not, why? If so, is this the biggest hand you'd fold here?

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $1/$2 Blinds - 6 Players - (LegoPoker HH Converter)

SB: $200.00
Hero (BB): $434.35
UTG: $320.50
MP: $293.10
CO: $337.75
BTN: $197.00

Preflop: Hero is dealt J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (6 Players)
3 folds, <font color="red">BTN raises to $7.00</font>, SB folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $22.00</font>, BTN calls $15.00

Flop: ($45) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $24.00</font>, <font color="red">BTN raises to $75.00</font>, Hero folds
Uncalled bet of $51.00 returned to BTN

Pot Size: $93.00 ($3 Rake)

I usually make it a bit bigger preflop say 25, cuz we're out of position and we won't let him in cheap.
I also tend to bet 2/3 of the pot in RR pots.
But ye fold when he repops you.

Any reads?

That is a pretty small c-bet. This small bet could be read as weak and therefore you open yourself up to someone making a play on you.

I would be closer to 3/4 of the pot, and yes fold to a reraise.

Make it $28 preflop.

Bet harder on the flop, if you must bet.

Not one.

I don't like the idea of three betting more when OOP. It inflates the pot but it doesn't increase our fold equity in the slightest. Nobody's going to call $22 but fold to $24.

The cbet size is because I don't have to worry much about implied odds, so there's no need to charge him to play. If I cbet 3/4 pot, I am asking people to setmine me...

standard except bet more on both streets unless you think those small bets will accomplish the same thing.

with QQ on a K high flop or something i would check sometimes even OOP because less scare cards can come.

If called, you're c/f'ing a blank turn right?
