Default [$30/3] QQ hand.

-Preflop: Prudent, or overenthusiastic?

Personally I wait. He either has you beat (in which case nothing changes) or he has 3 outs, or he has 2 outs.

Looks fine to me.

Sure. You have Queens with an A (or in this case, two A) on the board. Such is life.

No. You should check because, almost all of the time, only hands that have you beat will call you. I'd just try to check it down. If villain bets, then you have a decision to make.

Two A is better than one (makes it statistically less likely villain has one), especially if Villain is a bad enough player to check/fold KK...

...wait, KK usually pushes preflop. The flop cbet gets worse the longer I think about it.
