    If you'd seen him through 9 hands and saw him play most everything, yeah, I have to say you should definitely call that. If you just sat down, I'm ok with a fold there. Get your money back from him later. )

    If 6 people are seeing the flop even through a 4xBB raise, I think you need to raise more there. QQ against 6 people sounds sucktacular.

    As for the hand, I would lean towards calling. No reraise preflop so the chances of AA/KK are diminished, I think he might've thought you had AK/AQ and missed on the flop which allows him to make that move.

    Yeah I don't know what was up with the 5 callers, the table was very very loose. It was peculiar at this table that people didn't seem to mind calling a $1 raise with anything, but they were petrified of the 1.25 or 1.5 raise.

    Thanks for the advice though guys, I'll try to call next time in this situation.

    I think I would fold this. I also think I would have bet the pot (6$) on the flop to signal strength. If I was him I would read your betting as weakness and put you on a AK not hitting. So it's possible that he is bluffing or betting a TT or something thinking you have no pair. Still, if he puts you on AK the turn 5 gave you a straight draw and he would then maybe like to protect a set as well. If he holds A4 he would have hit the straight, but would he raise that much then with no flush on he table? Probably not, but possible.

    So I think your play early in the hand is too weak but that the fold was ok.

    I guess its a tough choice.

    Looking back the main reason that I folded was because his VP$P was so high even though I had only seem him play for 9 hands. Therefore I guess it was very possible for him to have weird stuff like A4 or even slow playing Aces or Kings. That added to the threat of a set... And yeah the weaker bet probably set myself up for him to make a move like that so that was bad. I told myself I wanted to feign weakness to get callers or even a stupid raise, but I have to be careful what I wish for!
