Warnings before you read my post:

If anyone tries to quote a preflop chart at me, I'm gonna cut you.
I'm a bit on the LAG side for these boards (23/13/2.3 type) at 2/4-5/10, so take this with a grain of salt.

On to the post:
120 data points with a given hand is nothing. Sample size blah blah, we don't need to cover this-- it could be a losing hand because of 3 or 4 bad match ups in there. That being said, putting in $ with it 100% of the time for 1 bet is probably a mistake. It really, really, really depends on the type of table you are playing at that determines when and how you should be opening Q9s. There are some tables where it is absolutely correct to limp it under the gun. If I'm averaging 4+ players to a hand with a bunch of passive nits, you bet I'm coming in with it. Some tables, I'm folding it in MP2 (though, these instances are probably rare).

What's more important though, and we've seen this with some recent hands, notably a Q10s hand is HOW YOU PLAY HANDS LIKE THIS POSTFLOP. Understanding when and how to play a hand like Q9s for top pair value is what can make them profitable. It's very hard to determine why you're losing money with this hand, absent posting specific hands.

First thought though when seeing something like this in you PT database should not simply be to look at preflop situations, it's to look at how you play them post flop.
