Please Analyze These QQ Hands

[banditdad]

I've been getting killed on QQ lately.

#1 The opponent is identified by PT as LAP. Did I play this correctly? I did not bet the river because I figured if he hit his straight he would raise me and if he didn't he would just fold.

#2
The opponent is SLAA. I was sure I was ahead until the river and 60% sure I was behind on the river. Should I have laid it down to one bet?
