Im mostly a 25NL player, feeling confident and thought I'd take a crack at 100NL. I took down one of my largest pots that I can recall.
My table image was fairly loose - 30-35ish VPIP in 45 hands or so and I had already busted two other players. Villian had only been at the table for 10 minutes. Doubled up when he hit a flush on the river (AQ suited). Won two other pots without showing.
Note that it was a 10 max table, but due to the recent busts we only had 6 players.

Preflop: Hero is MP with T/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG :#A500AF(villian)/ calls $1, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $4</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB calls $3.50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG :#A500AF(villian)/ calls $3.

River: ($372) 6/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Final Pot: $372
Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
villian has 9h Qh (one pair, nines).
Hero has Th 8h (straight, jack high).
Outcome: Hero wins $372. </font>
My question is, did I have no business in this hand? and why would villian bluff off his entire stack? What did he think I had? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I won, but was clearly suprised when he called me down. Then I was dumfounded when he showed.
Is 100 at UB looser than 25?
Please advise - did I play bad and get lucky or was this a reasonable line considering my image, stack, recent success, and short-handed table.
