Results:

Spoiler

$1.01 pot ($0.04 rake)
Final Board: K 2 4 5
Hero mucked Q Q and lost (-$0.49 net)
BTN mucked and won $0.97 ($0.48 net)

Should Hero have played Queens so passively? I reasoned that it's the sort of Way Ahead Way Behind type of situation so check-calling check-folding is an OK play. I also wondered whether I could have 4 bet pre-flop given that villain is on the button

Preflop: this is close. Typically at 100bb in early positions, a 3b is pretty strong. AT the same time this guy is under 100bb at 85bb, so he might be more willing to 3b/push JJ/TT/AQ (usually happens at 60bb) which makes 4b/calling w QQ great.

I think your call is fine, then call once on A/K high flops and fold turn
