villian has been pretty tight to this point-hasn't really played any pots to get a read on him. I'm thinking I should have reraised preflop. When I didn't do that I probably should have checked the turn when he check called my flop bet. When I didn't do that I probably should have folded to the reraise....pretty much butchered the whole thing-yes?

Reraise PF. It helps define your hand better. Other than that, I like your line. Does villan do this with AJ?

I'd reraise preflop to punish the cold caller and define my hand. Once your flop raise gets called you are probably behind, either to JJ or AA/KK. I'd probably check behind on the turn and call a reasonable river bet if no A or K falls. You have to fold to that turn checkraise I think. Sure there is a lot in the pot but i'm thinking you are behind about 95% of the time.

You're on the button, with a raise and a caller before you, with QQ - definitely re-raise PF!
