This is the recent hand that I played yesterday, I am assuming I played this hand horribly. Also, I saw couple of his hands before and he really didn't show much strength, showing K high etc. Your opinions?

Full Tilt Poker $10 + $1 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t100/t200 Blinds - 8 players

UTG: t9027 M = 30.09
UTG+1: t2150 M = 7.17
MP1: t7480 M = 24.93
MP2: t5186 M = 17.29
CO: t1835 M = 6.12
BTN: t6084 M = 20.28
SB: t3948 M = 13.16
Hero (BB): t2025 M = 6.75

Pre Flop: (t300) Hero is BB with J

1 fold, UTG+1 calls t200, 5 folds, Hero checks

Flop: (t500) Q

(2 players)
Hero checks, UTG+1 bets t200, Hero calls t200

Turn: (t900) 5

(2 players)
Hero checks, UTG+1 bets t900, Hero raises to t1625 all in UTG+1 calls t725

Lead for pot on flop and call all in. Board is very very drawy, but you likely have the best hand. Don't let them suck out before you get the money in. So many hands have draws here, you just can't slowplay.

As played, after you check and he bets like a pussy, shove over that ****.

Passive play on this flop is bad. Too many draws, and your two pair isn't THAT strong, relative to the possible hands that are interested in continuing beyond this flop. Definitely get it on the flop and don't let them draw for cheap.

The stack to pot ratio is less than 4, meaning that if Villain makes/calls any reasonable sized bet, he is committed. Don't get cute when the pot is big in comparison to the stacks. Just get it in if you think you have the best hand. Even if Villain folds to your flop lead, you have picked up 300t and increased your stack by over 10%, a fine result from the blinds.
