Party QQ in BB Weak-tight line or good laydown? 25NL 6max

Villain was loosish, like most 6-max players at PP. I have only played a couple of hands at the table. Haven't showndown anything. How is this play? I really hate these situations. Should I have pet the pot at the flop, or should I have checked? Re-raise more pf?

Theres really nothing that he could have called that flop with that didnt have you beat. So good fold. However, I think that the preflop raise was too little with 3 left to act. The min raise was great since it got money into the pot. Now that was when you should have fired a bigger amount. Pot was already 1.75 so your raise TO 1.75 with all 3 players left to act was too little. It should have been 2.50 - 3. The flop was draw heavy. Straight draws, flush draws plus an over. Not a good flop at all with queens. Make a continuation bet and give up unless you got some read on him (like you know he likes to call bets with mid pair but even so in this case, mid and bottom pair both hit so you were done).
