I'm happy with this hand right down to the river, where I have 2 questions.
1)The wake up bet on the river means I'm beaten, right? The queen is an overcard and completes a straight
2)If I stay in, do I raise to get rid of BB, even though I'm probably beat?

Fold to the turn check-raise with a four straight on the board? Fold the river when the five pairs?
