Default Re: How Stupid am I or how Brilliant is this Play?

I think it would help to know how loose you think this guy would defend in this situation. If he can have Q5s here, then I think the play is okay given your stack. If he has a tight blind defense raise, then I don't think you're ahead of enough hands to make the turn call.

Of course, if he knows you are exploiting the short-handed situation, he could definitely be bluff raising here, figuring you're most likely hand is Ax. If he was doing that, he would continue the bluff on a blank turn.

All in all, I think this play is probably okay given that this guy played a draw aggressively. That makes me think he would defend liberally and could certainly be making a move on this flop. If you are behind, you probably have 7-9 outs (against a bigger queen or a small 2 pair).
