Default One card straights suck...

Only been at the table a few orbits, haven't seen the Villain do anything out of line. I've seen AA, QQ already, so I've taken down a few pots preflop with big reraises; I've also shown down a flopped flush that lost to the CO calling me down all the way with the nut flush. Not sure if any of that matters. Stats aren't over a big enough sample size to mean anything.

Party Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $34.50
Hero: $26.25
CO: $38.60
Button: $32.65
SB: $5.85
BB: $23.45

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG+1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $1</font>, 3 folds, BB calls.

Flop: 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($2.1, 2 players)
BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $1.5</font>, BB calls.

Turn: J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($5.1, 2 players)
BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $4</font>, <font color="#cc0000">BB raises all-in $20.95</font>, Hero...?

How often is this KQ? Its almost always at least a naked Q, isnt it? If its often a split pot, folding here can't be a huge mistake, can it?

Is this thinking weak/tight?

Almost never, because he called your bet on the flop. Unless he is a complete donk (which you claim he's not).

I put him on the flop with a pair, and accidently caught a Q high straight on the turn.

IHMO call this one

I will never fold this. If he has KQ all you need to do is suckout.
