So far I appear to be having some difficulties with QQ. It is my worst performing starting hand by a longway. Can someone please have a look at the hands below and give me some feedback on any thing you find blatently retarded or just poor play? Ta.

(Apologies for not using the hand converter but I just can't seem to get it to work.)

No reads as I had only been at the table for a few hands.

I was really unsure the best way to play this hand in it's entirety. Should I have folded pre-flop or pushed?

Similar type of hand below. Thoroughly confused me! No reads as this was my second hand at the table

My game really falls apart when overcards appear. I seem to constantly get burned with QQ and KK when someone limps in with Ax then calls my raise and A hits on the flop. Should I be picking these spots better and be laying my hand down?
