How did you play it bad? Did you really put him on QQ?

I think he meant the other guy. Smile

Both players played it okay. Although I don't completely get the call by the QQQ when you raise...

I think mr. QQ played it horribly.

very bad considering the flop, UNLESS he have excellent reads on you and know you don't raise with a flush draw here.
