Default How Often Do You Reraise With Queens?

How often do you reraise with Queens? If opens while I'm on button I would defenitely consider it, but I hate raising OOP.

My notes on Button were, "Minraised AJo UTG+1 at full table. Checked behind 2 others with it on [7h 9c 9s] flop."

Not extremely helpful, but gives me a bit of information about his range. He checked behind other players with unimproved AJo. I remember the turn was a Jack and he bet. I don't think I've seen him showdown anything else that he minraised either.

I didn't reraise pre as I hate raising anything OOP. I figured I'd just look at a flop with my Queens. If the flop came with undercards than I'd have a strong hand. I also don't think they could put me on Queens either, with me just calling preflop and all.

Flop wasn't bad, I decided to check-raise. I wanted to see the action before me, and weed out players with a larger raise, not bet $8 and get 4 callers. I'm growing particularly fond of checking decent hands in the blinds, which I usually bet, in order to see the action. More often than not I will see a bet get reraised by players who have me crushed. Saves me a bet. It also lets me pick off bluffs or check-raise when I'm sure people are bluffing.

I lead blank turn for 4/5th pot bet and get raised a decent amount. Then minraiser reraises that, which is most likely a set of Jacks, Aces or Kings. Needless to say I'm out of there ASAP.

Anyways, comments are appreciated. Just wondering how you all play Queens.
