The donk calls me a donk

Today I played about 1,000 hands only. One of the first tables I sat down at and played a few hands, I woke up with QQ in early position and raised it to 0.06$. Everybody pretty much folded, but the small blind toyberg90 had a huge stack and out of nowhere made it 0.5$ to call. The huge raise seemed suspicious to me and I wanted to put him on AA, KK or AK. I did not buy it though and decided I wanted to see the flop and see how the action turns out. On the flop the K was the highest card and obviously I did not like it much. The small blind checked to my surprise and I decided to check behind. The turn is another low card and the small blind decided to shove all in with 1.9$. Now I thought about that he might have KK and flopped a set and is slow playing it, but I went back to my gut feeling that he did not have such a great hand and the check on the flop made it seem like he did not have much. I doubt with KK he would have just raised it so huge preflop. AA and AK would have bet the flop. So everything added upto me that he was just going wild. I decided to call. He had 99, meaning my was way ahead with my QQ. He wasn't able to catch and I took down a nice pot.
After the hand he just types into the chat "donk call" and I told him "donk shove" and he never replied. According to pokertableratings hes quite a losing player and who knows how many account he had before, since this toyberg account was only opened in october 2010. This guy was actually on more tables than me, so I assume he is an experienced player, but no concept of the game at all. The birth of a cry baby, who does not know how to tell a consistent story got caught lying.

The story of this hand is that you should go with your gut feeling every now and then if you are unable to understand the actions of you opponent. When plays usually do not make any sense its probably a bluff. The guy had balls, donkey balls.

I ended up losing some through out the session where my big hands would just continue running into bigger hands. I lost the minimum just calling down with my sets and never went all in. I knew I was beat, but its hard folding sets and nice when you do not go broke with them when there is no flush or straight possibility. The bankroll is at a healthy 119$.
