Default Help with Hand Reading

This is my first hand at the table, and I have no previous background with the Villain. It's 9-player 0.02/0.05 NL.

BB (Hero): $6.00
UTG+2 (Villain): $4.83

Preflop: Hero is dealt Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (9 Players)
UTG and UTG+1 folds, Villain raises to 0.15. Everyone fold to BB. Hero Calls.

Since, I'm OOP, I wanted to see the flop before building a big pot.

Flop: 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Hero Checks, Villain bets 0.20, Hero Raises to 0.90. Villain thinks for 20 secs and then calls. Pot is now $2.10.

I think Villain would have pushed or folded with AA or KK, so, I put him on (AJ or KJ), (AK or AQ), Heart Draw, or Set. Roughly in that order of probability. Also, if Villain had any of the Ace-heart draws or Jack-heart draws, I think he would have acted faster. Comments on this hand range, please.

Turn: 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Pot is $2.10 and Villain has $3.78 remaining. Based on the range I put the Villain on, I decided to play this to the River.

Hero bets $2.00
Villain thinks a bit then calls.

Should I have bet the full $3.78 here, or bet less and hope for a raise? I wanted to get the Villain pot committed.

River: 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Hero Bets $1.78
Villain Calls and is All In.

Villain mucks cards. The only cards I can think of the Villain having are Jack-x. Does anyone think the Villain could have stayed in the hand and called the river bet with an underpair, or something else?

Thanks

raise pf!! you dont want to see a flop before building a pot, you want to build a pot while you have a huge equity edge. He'll call with a lot worse so try and get more money in the pot.

flop, turn and river are fine. you could shove turn, but betting $2 is pretty much the same.

There is full ring forum just for you. Also, playing big pairs passively pf is a recipe for disaster. Many villains range pf is very wide that you are miles ahead of, but they only put significant money in post flop if they can beat QQ. You absolutely have to deny hands like 22, 67s and A2s a cheap look at the flop.
