I had no good reads on villains since I was multitabling, but from what I seen they both looked like passive players. I tried so hard with my queens and yet it looked like I was beat. I made a crying call with my queens at the end, and the question is; could I have done something different?

If I bet the pot with an overpair like queens and I get two callers, espically if the callers are tight players, you gotta slow wayyyyy down. Most likely one of those two has a set and wants you to keep betting so they can trap you! I check the turn.

Yes I believe you are right, however I werent sure they were really "tight" players. As I said I hadn't watched them closely, but I am unsure to wether to treat this type of "standard"-player as tight/passive or loose/passive. Back in the days Party Poker was a real fishpund nowaday its more of a rockfest... Okay not that bad, but still... The problem with checking is that if you have the type of players who will call with top-pair or maybe even overcards you are giving dangerous freecards. Even so I can see the merit with checking and I do understand your point. Maybe there are some merit to a weaker turn bet? How would this change If I had just one lone caller?

Don't worry about it. Just keep betting Pot (don't underbet the Flop) and if you end up all in by the River then so be it. It's not like you've gotten raised or anything. Villains could have almost anything. Don't be afraid of monsters under the bed.
