It waas lowest pair with a got shot (8) and 3 diamonds. I would've probably fold but I don't know the exact situation you were in. I would have hated that flop with QQ - too many bad thinks can happen on the board, and after the second 5 and the 3 I would probably fold - the board is literally covered with losing options.

I don't know why you only made a call preflop? QQ is pretty nice hand, so I think bet will be better option. And maybe it would scare this guy with 57...

Interesting hand to have become embroiled in. Your raises we're way too small both preflop and on the flop which allowed hotdog (although not brilliant odds) a chance to get in relatively cheaply with a low pair and a straight draw with also potential for trips, against you showing not much strength. I accept it's a balance whether to play monster hands hard or soft but playing soft leaves more chances for your weaker opponent who calls you with a chance of improving, whereas your big push may scare them away!

i would have folded after his re-raise on the turn. you didn't think the hand like you should have. he didn't call the flop with only the lowest pair. he had a straight-draw and a runner-runner flushdraw also.
