Tell me what you guys think of this hand. If i played it correctly.. This is at a live game at the casino.. 1/2NL I have about 300 in my stack.

First off. I am a tight player, and I mix it up from time to time... I just got back into the game recently. No money, got back into school etc.. working 2 jobs.. No time ...

anyways.. I am trying to build up a BR.. started off a couple weeks ago with 300, up to 900. Going to put another 300 or so into the BR next week. I usually buy in with 100, and once i drop down to 60 i rebuy to get me up to the 100.00 marker again.

Thats another story... On with the hand.

300 in front of me.
early / mid position
Call 2$ w/ Q 8 suited clubs
BB raises to 9$ (he is a semi loose player)
I call. Everyone folds

Flop
9h Jc 3c

BB bets out 15.00
(about 24 in pot)

I call

Turn
blank..

BB bets out 25

I raise to 75.

BB calls and didn't have 50 behind . so is all in

River came another blank.

I ended up losing the hand... He ended up having QJo (raised BB w/ it) My main mistake I didn't realize is that he did not have chips behind him for the call so he was committed.

My question. Did I play this hand totally wrong? If he had more chips would it have been a good raise? Should I have raised the flop? Should I have folded the flop? If someone could give some input it would be greatly appreciated.

Buy in for 100BBs unless everyone has ~$50.
Don't limp.
Don't play crap from early position.
Raise and try to get it in on the flop 'cos you're golden against a live donk's range.

Given his stack size there is no reason to not get this in on the flop as played.

Fold preflop.
