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:

Call the river. That is all to be said.

Just so you know 30+30+25+2 = 87 ----> 105-87 = $18

You decided to save $18 on the river with the 2nd nuts with over $180 in the pot?

This has to be a joke.

Wow you mucked this to a ultra agressive big stack? that being said do you think hes gonna let AQ slide with a limp? I couldnt possibly put him on AQ here, maybe a lone 9 for a straight to the jack or a pure over agressive bluff he knows you cant call without a 9, easy call in my opinion.

If you want to be berated, I can give you a little. How could you fold that re-raise when it was something like $10 to you on a pot that was close to $200? That's insane.


That really is it. If he has AQ, pay him off, especially consider

I have lost a lot of money limping with hands like Q9s. Fold preflop.

[mkotich]

I did the math wrong, I must have had more than 105, because I believe the betting was correct, and I had about 50 or 60 left after that hand. But yeah, it was a 60 dollar raise on the river to put me all in that I folded to.

Yeah, after the hand I went back and thought it over and realized that he really wasn't playing like he had AQ. I guess I was playing with scared money on that one. Second best hand possible, dammit.

Worst fold I've ever seen posted on here.
