I don't mind a steal with this hand (if you knew the blinds were reasonably tight). Raise river I'd say.

Who berated you? The guy who decided to not punish you for trying to steal when he has QQ? At any rate, you played it fine.

Yeah I wimped out on the river. I'll raise this next time though.

Except for the river. Easy raise.

I'm raising the river.

GJ, you're a suckout king. Seriously, If the guy 3 bets pre-flop and it's the same exact board, you're calling down and sucking him out on the river.

The guy with QQ should be berated for not re-raising your blind steal attempt.

You should be berated for NOT raising the river if you are berated for anything. Trying to steal the blinds was a legit play. Not re-raising with QQ was just silly. Check call on the flop was asking for trouble. Check raise, OTOH, would have been an acceptable play.

and there is some value in slowplaying the queens here, and popping on the turn, as long as he put you on a steal, and you were likely to followup on the turn its not such a bad play

the default should be to just 3bet preflop, but his line isn't terrible
