Two QQ hands

[XPac]

I just sat down (this is my second hand) so I have no reads yet...

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (8 handed)
Preflop: Hero is MP2 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, CO calls, Button calls, SB folds, BB calls.

Flop: (8.50 SB) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, CO folds, Button calls, BB folds.

Turn: (5.25 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Button raises</font>, Hero calls.

River: (9.25 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">Button bets</font>, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 11.25 BB

Should I have dropped after the turn checkraise in the absence of a read (I think so)?

Here I think my fold is easy, the guy that really scares me in this hand is UTG. This is a different table that I have just sat down at, so again I have no discernable reads on this guy.

These are hands I come across with a fair amount of frequency when I get dealt pocket T's - Q's, so I'm wondering if I'm playing these alright or if I need some work... [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Hand 1: I like the calldown. I think it's likely he could be bluff-raising some hands you can beat.

Hand 2: I think this is a much easier fold. There's been aggression preflop and you're almost certainly behind to an ace.
