    Default badly played queens, suggestions?

    Yuck. ok, this is pretty bad. In fact, looking at it again I realise that it's worse than bad... Excuse is that I'd taken a full-stack badbeat moments earlier on another table. Poor excuse I know...

    Suggestions?

    My thoughts:
    pre-flop. Cold-calling vs 3-betting isn't completely terrible
    flop. I gotta lead out here - but bet size is horrible. Should be at least 75% pot. That board is super draw-heavy and I might not be behind yet.
    turn. Think I have to lead again. or? but not $0.40, more like $2, then fold to the re-raise.
    River. Pretty sure I'm behind, not much to do here but check-fold right? if range is AA, AK, KK, AQ then I'm way, way behind.

    Prima Network No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (9 handed)

    MP1 ($9.80)
    MP2 ($2.90)
    MP3 ($6.09)
    CO ($17.92)
    Button ($27.95)
    Hero ($9.85)
    BB ($8.81)
    UTG ($2.03)
    UTG+1 ($11.70)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with [Qh], [Qd].
    5 folds, CO raises to $0.6, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.55, 1 fold.

    Flop: ($1.30) [Tc], [Kc], [8d] (2 players)
    Hero bets $0.4, CO calls $0.40.

    Turn: ($2.10) [Jd] (2 players)
    Hero bets $0.3, CO raises to $1.5, Hero calls $1.20.

    River: ($5.10) [2d] (2 players)
    Hero checks, CO bets $1.5, Hero folds.

    Final Pot: $6.60

    Preflop is gross. Sure there are times you should call preflop but against a position raise isn't one of those times.
    As you said the flop bet should be bigger.
    The turn is very close because you could make a losing straight with the 9 but w/e.
    River was easy.

    Reraise preflop, bet 1/2 to 2/3 pot on flop, and if you're going to fire a second barrel (which is questionable IMO), fold to a reraise.

    <SaltLick> are you seriously losing to a blind guy

    You are OOP...re-raise 4x preflop, cbet flop and fold to any raise or heavy turn action.
