Very poorly played Q9s by myself.

[mkotich]

So I was at a $100 1/2 NL game last night, and am ashamed of this hand, but need to vent.

I'm dealt Q9c in early position, and most of the action takes place between me and one guy, VERY agressive, and a very good player, he was up about 350 when I sat down, about 700 when I left. I had been at the table for about 15 minutes, no real reads but this guy and one other guy at the table were working the table very well.. I was up about 5 bucks from some stolen blinds, so I'm at about 105 with no money to rebuy.

Me: Q9c ($105)
Him: XX (~$350+)

Whole table save 2 players limp in.

Flop: 8JT rainbow

checks to me, I raise $25, everyone but him folds, he calls.

Turn: K fourth suit

I raise 30, he calls.

River: 7

I raise 30, he pushes me all in.

I smelled AQ for some reason, and mucked. what do you do? (Already know the answer, call, right? I mucked face up, and he showed me his holding, I'll post his cards later if anyone's interested.)

The reason I'm posting this is I'd like to hear some feedback (of any kind) because well, that's how ya' learn. I've busted out too many second best hands this weekend, and with no rebuy, no read, and only being there for a few minutes, I didn't want to risk my whole bankroll on this hand (although, if you can't go all in with this, what can you!?) so I mucked it. PS: I did flop a straight about 3 hands later, and that one held up, made back all of my money and some interest with 3 callers.

Let the berating begin:
