Your flop bet is no good..Bet closer to 1/2 or 2/3 of the pot and give up to any resistance after that..Besides that, it looks pretty standard..I might leak the turn like you did just to see if I can hit that miracle queen, depends how annoyed I was that the ace flopped lol

Are you expecting a serious response?If it's a satellite, and only 1st place advances, then I would imagine that you'd play Queens just like in any other small tourney. You want to win, right?

Theres no definitive answer without knowing the stacks. Generally I agree the flop bet is too small, it shows that you are concerned about the A and he can take a cheap stab with a small raiseThe turn check is a bit confusing but with a safe board it could well be to induce a bluff from you on the river, so folding looks like the right play.
