i was playing a home game and was dealt QJ. blinds are .10/.25 i limp in, person in the BB raises to a dollar. one caller in front of me, and i call. is this a bad call preflop?

What position are you, on the button? If so, raise, don't open limp QJ on the button.

no, i was in a middle position, but the people between me and the BB folded.

the hand played out like this after i called pre flop..
flop was 9 10 J... BB checks, the other guy checks, and i bet 1.25
BB calls, other guy folds
turn is Q
i check, BB checks
river is Q
i bet 3 dollars, he raises all in, i call
he has AK

he says my call preflop was a horrible call and i got lucky. i'll admit i got lucky on the river. i knew he has AK and making my two pair on the turn made his straight. (which is why i checked) then the river came another Q which was my money card lol

OK, even so, open raise or fold.

Open limping = suck

As played, not a terrible call PF.

i didn't think it was a bad call either but the whole rest of the night and the next night he kept telling me how bad of a call it was.

He gave you a free-card on the turn and let you draw out whilst basically telling you what he had, I'd tell him to go fuck himself.

wastrel's got it nailed though, raise or fold pf but not a bad call to a bb raise.

Ye its his fault really for letting you draw out. Just tell him not to play it like such a bitch next time and he could have taken it on the turn.

exactly what i told him. told him any bet on the turn would have won him the pot. but he refused to believe that, lol. he said "theres nothing i could do to get you off that hand" haha

u should let him know hes the monkey for calling chasing an inside straight
