Top 2: What's My Move?

Don't have the hand history here right now, but it went something like this.

6 Handed $1/$2

I'm sitting on $350ish
Villain is an unknown. He is new to the table and has $150.

I get dealt Qh9h in the cutoff. UTG limps, I limp. SB completes and no raise from the BB(Villain). Flop is 892 rainbow with 1 heart. SB checks and the villain bets the pot. Folded to me. I call. SB Folds.

Turn is a Q. Villain checks and I bet $18. Villain raises all-in. WTF?

My move is?

i'm calling. i think you'd be very unlucky if he has j10, he probably has 2 pair too. i think a set is unlikely as this is not extracting any value. my guess Q 2

Fold baby fold. He has JT

Fold, he has you beat

He has JT so fold. If he doesn't, he flopped a set and got scared by the queen and decided all-in was the best move. (I've seen it happen many times)

I think you will definitely be ahead a certain % of the time, im not sure how much against a random $1 $2 player. It sure looks like JT though. Toss a coin

u are beating 89 or 92, u are not beating anything else.
if i had JT, i woulda played it the same way.
i would not be as inclined to want to get 98/92 all in on this turn.
most likely JT, followed by 222, 888, then 98.

I thought it looked far too much like JT to call, so I folded. I would often play it the same way, though I'm not sure if I'd jam the turn like that with the nut straight, maybe against someone I'd noted as a calling station.

I've seen so many pushes at $1/$2 recently with the nuts that I didn't think calling now was a profitable move.

When I folded he said he had A8, but I don't believe that for a second. If he did only have that, fair play. Well timed move.

I would still assume he's protecting a weak holding. First guess is he called your flop bet with overcards, either hit his queen or trying to bluff you out representing JT.

If he's the kind of player to massively overbet the nut straight, I guess I am assuming he'd be the type of player to bet out on the wrap initially.

I call this, but as I've said in other threads, I have a high variance from making calls like this too often!
