With the QQ hand I was also thinking afterwards that betting the turn would have been a good idea. I was just not sure enough that my hand was the best, after he bet small and called a big raise, and cause of that I did not bet turn. I agree reads are needed, I am improving in that area but still have a way to go, and I usually dont like just calling down like I did in the last hand there, good thing I was right this time.
