QQ play

Looks sensible to me. Only alternative I can think of would have been to make a c-bet on the flop to get some information about what hand he had and possibly make any spade flush draw hands fold or even KQ if he had been loose enough to call pre-flop with that. With the pre-flop action though it's highly likely he has a pocket pair so I think the way you played it makes a lot of sense!

Checking flop is good. Basically you have two good options in turn. Either fold or call turn and call river. I doubt villain is raise-folding anything better in turn if he takes line of betting pot so turning QQ into bluff make no sense. So by only flatting you keep his bluffs in his range and he can then spew more in river. Now he obviously just folds his likely 0-4 outs hand.

I agree with ghaleon, if i understand your line than raising turn don't make much sense, if he is doing it with worse, but i think he could also have some Kx hands and he is just testing the water, so raising there would be better, but if you have strong reads than call turn and river.
