Yes, I could have bet right there on the flop, though my thinking was I didn't want to scare him away just yet, wanted to suck as much out of him as I could be allowing him to bet hopefully on the turn then I'd raise. In this case, it didn't work out for me though.

However, I think had I pushed him all-in on that flop, he still would have called it with top pair (seeing as how he went and called a pre-flop re-raise with only Q9), then hit his turn and knocked me out anyhow.

I could have pushed all-in pre-flop, perhaps there he may have folded...maybe he wouldn't have. I'll never know
