First up, I had this guy pegged as aggro and didn't really think that he was holding much.

POKERSTARS GAME #4730707811: HOLD'EM NO LIMIT ($0.05/$0.10) - 2006/04/24 - 16:34:54 (ET)
Table 'Genua' 9-max Seat #4 is the button
Seat 1: DZoolander1 ($6 in chips)
Seat 3: kidbluff74 ($2.50 in chips)
Seat 4: Gemma12 ($9.65 in chips)
Seat 5: derfgolf ($15 in chips)
Seat 6: Cirano ($20.50 in chips)
Seat 7: benny1974 ($24 in chips)
Seat 8: joeontheroad ($5.80 in chips)
Seat 9: jameseyb ($12.85 in chips)
derfgolf: posts small blind $0.05
Cirano: posts big blind $0.10
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to jameseyb [Jc Jh]
benny1974: folds
joeontheroad: folds
jameseyb: raises $0.30 to $0.40
DZoolander1: folds
kidbluff74: calls $0.40
Gemma12: calls $0.40
derfgolf: folds
Cirano: calls $0.30
*** FLOP *** [5s 9h Kc]
Cirano: checks
jameseyb: bets $0.50
kidbluff74: raises $1.60 to $2.10 and is all-in
Gemma12: folds
Cirano: folds
jameseyb: calls $1.60
*** TURN *** [5s 9h Kc] [4h]
*** RIVER *** [5s 9h Kc 4h] [Qh]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
jameseyb: shows [Jc Jh] (a pair of Jacks)
kidbluff74: shows [7d Kd] (a pair of Kings)
kidbluff74 collected $5.60 from pot
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot $5.85 | Rake $0.25
Board [5s 9h Kc 4h Qh]
Seat 1: DZoolander1 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 3: kidbluff74 showed [7d Kd] and won ($5.60) with a pair of Kings
Seat 4: Gemma12 (button) folded on the Flop
Seat 5: derfgolf (small blind) folded before Flop
Seat 6: Cirano (big blind) folded on the Flop
Seat 7: benny1974 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 8: joeontheroad folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 9: jameseyb showed [Jc Jh] and lost with a pair of Jacks

Basically, given what I knew of him, he could have been holding anything. He could have pushed to protect a draw for a straight (holding JQs or similar was possible). The pot odds were nearly 4:1, so it was possible.

Give me your views though, was I right to call his all-in? Should I have walked away from it?

 If you're going to bet that flop 4way, you gotta call the donk's mini-all in

Yeah, I'm now regretting the hand. Ah well, live and learn. Hopefully I won't make too many mistakes like this again.
