Stars .10/.20, I have () . The bring in is a couple seats to my right, it's folded to me. There are 2 Queens after me, 1 , no Aces or Tens or face cards. Is this a call or a raise?
I raised and everyone folded. Is that a good result or not?
I'd always raise this. A lot of players expect to see any Ace raise, so you will often get a caller or two 'just to keep you honest'. Raise all your Aces and you will get some nice folds (like the one you got) when you are weak and hopefully some action when you are strong anyway. A limp just looks suspect anyway.

I'd raise. As Roy indicates, your opponents will be expecting it. A limp will look like a draw (which you have) or a monster like rolled up trips. If you back into your straight or flush you are likely to get more action as it won't be as apparent that's what you have it you play fast.
