Default Two Pair vs. a Connected board.

I don't think I played this hand wrong, and I'm not trying to post a bad beat story. What I'm after here is some advice on how you tell when a fish really has something.

So far, I have been very bad at telling when one of the loosey-gooseys at a $25 6-max PP table has me beat, or when they are betting big with a worse hand. It seems like I invariably make the wrong deccision.

Here's the example:

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 max, 4 handed)

BB ($24.55)
Hero ($25)
Button ($17.01)
SB ($60.25)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
Hero calls $0.50, Button folds, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($1.50) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="CC3333">BB bets $1</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to $4</font>, SB calls $4, BB folds.

Turn: ($10.50) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">SB bets $5</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: $15.50

He turns over J9, and I naturally grimace, but there's no way I can call this, right?

He had played 60% of his hands and pf raised 13%.

Are there any clues that I missed?

Default Re: Two Pair vs. a Connected board.

you either raise him or you fold. no calling.

I think the fold is fine.
