I was thinking of calling here but didn't know how I would act on further streets, considering I'm OOP. I know I played it WAAAAY too tight, but I wasn't really sure how I would play it so I folded.

What's the correct play here? Villain was a standard tag.
I probably should have bet the flop here... correct?

I b/f for like .25-.3 here, yes. As played I have no problem with folding to his bet. You only beat a bluff and the RIO in this spot is huge.

This isn't really the flop you're looking for with Q9. Button could have anything here. You could try going for a c/r here but that doesn't have a lot of value aside from winning the pot right there. Don't bother getting involved with a play like that OOP for such a small pot. If the button calls or raises you you're probably in trouble. That seems like pretty passive advice - but I just don't like playing a significant pot here.

Bet out is better followed by bet/folding undercard turns.
As played call I guess and probably ck/call an undercard turn and ch/fold most rivers.

I might bet like .30 on this flop, but if we get raised I'm done.
