Busted by Taylor Caby

Man, I suck.

FullTiltPoker Game #5555052733: Table Burdell (6 max) - $5/$10 - No Limit Hold'em - 17:19:17 ET - 2008/03/08
Seat 4: tay ($1,006)
Seat 6: smizmiatch ($1,261)
dwbrown2560 posts the small blind of $5
smizmiatch posts the big blind of $10
The button is in seat #4
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to smizmiatch [Qd Jd]
3 folds
tay has 15 seconds left to act
tay raises to $35
dwbrown2560 calls $30
smizmiatch has 15 seconds left to act
smizmiatch raises to $155 (Standard squeeze)
tay has 15 seconds left to act
tay raises to $275 (Minraise. This totally threw me off. I'm used to seeing small 4-bets from Taylor in his videos, but I'm not accustomed to them being straight-up minraises. It felt suspicious, but I was just being lured into a trap.)
dwbrown2560 folds
smizmiatch has 15 seconds left to act
smizmiatch has requested TIME
smizmiatch calls $120
*** FLOP *** [5c Jc 3h]
smizmiatch checks
tay has 15 seconds left to act
tay bets $325 (This continuation bet felt small to me. The pot was over $500, and it seemed like a feeler bet. I should have known better.)
smizmiatch has 15 seconds left to act
smizmiatch has requested TIME
smizmiatch raises to $986, and is all in (At least I took a lot of time before deciding. I figured Taylor for AA, KK, QQ, AK, AQ or air. So that's 28 combos that are behind me and 15 that are ahead. Or, if he's only min-4-betting preflop with AA-QQ and AK, then that's 16 hands that are behind me and 15 that are ahead.)
tay calls $406, and is all in
smizmiatch shows [Qd Jd]
tay shows [Qc Qh] (I'm going to puke.)
Uncalled bet of $255 returned to smizmiatch
*** TURN *** [5c Jc 3h] [Ts]
*** RIVER *** [5c Jc 3h Ts] [7s]
smizmiatch shows a pair of Jacks
smizmiatch: nh
tay shows a pair of Queens
tay wins the pot ($2,044) with a pair of Queens
dwbrown2560: wiw

I wish I had folded preflop.

I wouldn't feel too bad about this hand. Tay would say "Oh, he had QQ. It's a cooler" and then move on.

Chilly. QJ sucks.

When you play QJs you're obviously not thinking you are going to win with top pair, right? Why would you risk your whole stack like that? And even when you write out your thought process, I don't understand why you still make the call. Is it out of his range to play AJ and KJ there? You lose to those as well.

Anyway, I am by no means a cash player so this kind of foreign to me. It looks like you got caught in a bit of "bust a pro" mindset there.

I see you're going to be in town next month. Maybe we'll see you for a game?

Yeah, I definitely got caught up in trying to bust a pro. Foolish.
I'll only be in town for a long weekend, so the only game I'll have time for is the Braves game.
