I have trouble with hands where a crappy hand becomes somewhat less crappy on the turn and I get sucked in.

My thoughts...

Q3 preflop is pants but I'm in the BB, 3 callers, I get to see a free flop for once, thats nice.

KQJ flop is not so nice although with Q3 I wasn't expecting much. I'm not putting any money in this pot whatsoever, no sir, I check and so does everyone else, thats odd.

A bloody 3 on the turn. Thats 2 pair. UTG leads out for 250 but if I am honest I didn't really stop and think about what his bet meant, all I could see was my 2 pair, all-in or bust, bust as it turned out.

I'd love to tell you how I managed to build my monster 10 chips in a 2200 stack only to bust out when my QQ was beaten by a 95o, but thats just boring and maybe a little less than truthful.

In any case I went from definitely NOT putting any money into this hand to busting out all for the sake of a bloody 3.

I'm annoyed that I didn't have the discipline to pause and think before acting; blinded by 2 pair.

Looks like you just lost your cool and over played it a bit.
