I got dealt pocket queens with .25/50 blinds at a home game with about 7 other people.
I raise it to 2 bucks and get one call.
flop: 8 7 5
I bet 3 dollars which was at least 3/4 the pot.
He (thinkin hes the best player in the world looks at me, and says goes all in pushing in 5 more dollars).
I know he either has over cards or is on some draw.
He flips over 9 7
Turn: 6
River:x
He only had 9 outs right? Is there anything i did wrong?

No. Nothing wrong. Stacksize vs potsize so short we never even contemplate a fold here. Just a mild bad beat. Move on to the next hand.

Well did he do anything wrong? He doesnt know pot odds or anything, but against a good player would have this probably happened? Im pretty sure i bet 3 dollars but it could have been 3.50. So he had to call at least 3 dollars to win 7, so did he have the right odds anyway?

When he is so short he def. should fold preflop with a gapper vs. someone playing tight, not enough implied odds. So his preflop play is horrible.
On the flop due to potsize vs. stacksize he never really can fold that hand, and he makes a mess out of it...you never fold a better hand here and pooshing might shut out worse hands vs a tight player so it is bad also.
So his flop play is 'meh...he didn't know what do'.
In essence, his very bad preflop play made him make a dumb move on the flop, because he did what I bet he usually does..bet...and this in turn forced him to race a better hand. Fairly typical, pretty bad.

Well to start off he had 8 bucks and i had about 17 but damnit it sucked especially since i was playing so well before that.
And last 3 times i have sucked against those kind of people because its basically me and this other guy vs 5 other shitty players, so one bad beat from one of them isnt that bad, but 1 bad beat from 5 of them sucks... so im really looking to play with other people.
I guess if luck weren't involved I'd win every one

You'd be better off learning how to deal with them first. You are going to run into people time and time again that will challenge your game, if you cannot adjust to what you think is poor play you have little chance against real good players who will adapt to your game if you only have one gear.
