Overcards vs. low pair is a classic coin toss, and in this situation it doesn't really matter if he had QT or AK, same odds to you.

It really gets on my nerves when so-called poker experts get all mad saying they "should have" won and they "played right"... If statements like that were true all the time, what the hell would be the point of playing poker to start with?
bullshit. In poker your goal is to get your chips in with the best hand PERIOD. If that means chucking them in there with 99 against someone you know is a donkey who raises with anything, then that's what you do. You can try sitting there developing a leather ass waiting for AA or KK, but that's not winning poker because those hands will get busted too. Online, they'll get busted non-stop. 99 is a favorite over Q-10, PERIOD. It's called trapping.
