Default PP25NL, another TPTK faces the cursed minraise

I know they matter in this one, but sorry, no reads. Does this look weak, or prudent?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (7 handed) converter

saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font>

BB ($26.25)
UTG ($17.28)
MP1 ($23.75)
MP2 ($39.65)
Hero ($24.9)
Button ($25)
SB ($15.32)

Preflop: Hero is CO with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.1.
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $1</font>, Button calls $1, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>.

Flop: ($2.35) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $2</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $4</font>, Hero calls $2.

Turn: ($10.35) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, Button calls $20 (All-In), Hero folds.

Final Pot: $30.35

I think it's a good fold. You've shown strength and I can't see villain playing this way with a queen and smaller kicker. Without any reads, I would credit him with a hand that beats top pair (but I'm as weak as they come). A set is possible, but he's playing it a little fast. Maybe he has AcKc?

Against someone who isn't a complete idiot, this could be JcTc. He semibluff raised the open ender on the flop, then turn a flush draw to go with it. It could also easily be a set, another AQ, or even KQ (perhaps with clubs to go with the TP). I think folding is best but I've called stuff like this just to see what the guy was doing it with in the mistaken belief that the information will be worth it in future hands. With the large player base at this level, I don't think that sort of metagame reason is worth it.
