A few hands from a LHE player returning to NL

I've played some NL in the 1 year since i've started playing poker, but since i really started playing for money and understanding poker, it's been mostly LHE and 6max LHE. Now after playing some live NL at a B&M casino i've been bitten by the NL bug. I 4 table party 50NL with a VPIP of around 20% (i'll get that down once i start 6 tabling)

Hand 1: Standard.

Hand 2: I might raise a little less here, $4 feels about right. I want to keep in smaller queens.

Hand 3: This is a bad flop to try to be tricky with. I'd probably lead out for $3. Now on the turn you don't really have good options. If you lead out, and he raises, it's hard to lay down b/c of the pot odds, but at the same time you're probably beat. If you check and he bets, then again you're not sure where you stand.

Hand 4: It's kinda hard to get anymore out of this out of position I think. In position I'd call a turn bet and raise/value bet the river obv.

Hand 5: Looks fine. If a diamond came on the turn, I might shoot a second barrel.

Hand 6: Looks fine. If called I check/call a non-paint river and think hard about calling a bet otherwise.

Hand 7: Nh. Rippy would be proud, except he would of probably pushed the flop

why raise in hand2?
You lose more to a 2 and fold weaker queens.
Id call here and bet the turn hoping to get called down otherwise id just call down and raise a later street unless i get played back at by what appears to be a 2.
