Live game, background on players. One solid will respect bets, Other i have respect for as normally is a good player also is the leaderboard leader. Its also his first hand after arriving late.

Blinds 50/100
Mid 1 - 3000ish
Button - 1k
BB(me) - 1800

Dealt QQ with 2 limps from others and a fold from SB, raised to 350. 2 calls.

Flop [2c] [4c] [7s] Pot-1000
Whats your action here?
I went 650, mid 1 fold and Button call for all in

Turn [Qs]

River [10s]

Cards flipped, hes holding A9s.
Would anyone have bet differently? I lost all respect for him after that.

I don't see what your bet sizing has to do with the hand. If he's calling all in w/ A9 high then it doesn't matter how much you go to pre/post.

Fwiw I probably make it 400 pre and put it in on most flops.

Less a question of bet-sizing and more a question of "should I punch in the throat or kick him in the groin?"

With two overs, he's got 1/3rd of his stack in play, fold leaves him with less than 10BB and he prob has a passport (?) or places to be so not so hard to understand his jam. Starting the hand with 10BB it should have been push/fold to your raise.

You just got unlucky.

i make it 450/500 preflop, then you can easily jam the flop without leaving a little bet behind.

but generally, you played it fine. its not a hand for discussion, as scott said, you should have just reached across and punched him in the face :D

With all the Talk about player etiqutte etc in these forums is this a good comment ?

Why not say "nice hand ", get up from the table and buy a stiff drink and put his play/call in the memory banks for next time.

Because it's such a far out scenario that it's never going to happen.
