Buried Queens--When to Drop

[mscags]

So I probably shouldn't have played this with a dead Queen out there, and probably not even if my queens were live. There was only one person in the pot so far and I thought if I would complete with my low card I could maybe get it heads up and hopefully catch some low cards and create some disception. I thought about folding sixth once he caught and Ace but I picked up a low draw too so I saw the river. Once I hit my low I figured I had to call. Where did I go wrong and what would you have done differently?

I'd play it the same. Sorry you got scooped.

No one had a higher upcard and no one was showing an ace.
