NL50 6-max: Q9 flops top pair, gets pushed

[cestlavie]

The villain somewhat loose and quite passive, playing a little over 30% of his hands thus far with a postflop AF of 0.77.

Actually, you flopped top two on a huge drawy board. But I fold to the push. I think the lowest hand that might do this with is my exact hand, but that is too much of an overbet to call w/o a read saying he does this with less than two pair. Looks like a set or flopped straight thinking you like your hand enough to get paid off now. I fold to that on the flop.

I think the only thing we can hope to be up against is Q8.
