It's early in a $10+1 MTT on UB with ~200 players. Blinds are 20/40 and I have approx t1200 in my stack.
I'm in the BB with 7 /images/graemlins/club.gif 6 /images/graemlins/club.gif and there is one limper in MP (has about t2000). Everyone else folds including the SB, I check. So I'm heads up for flop with MP (t100 in the pot).
I don't remember the hand *exactly* but the flop had the following texture:
FLOP: 9 /images/graemlins/club.gif K /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 4 /images/graemlins/club.gif
I bet 80, he minimum raises to 160, I call.
TURN: J /images/graemlins/club.gif
I bet about 75% the pot again, he min raises again, I push. He turns over Q /images/graemlins/club.gif 10 /images/graemlins/club.gif. I'm done.
My point of concern is...I was heads up before the flop and I chased a small flush. I associated his play on the flop more with a set or two pair than I would a flush draw. Hence why I didn't *seriously* consider he had the flush when it came out on the turn.
Is this a mistake? I wasn't chasing the nuts, but heads up I don't need to. I guess my real question is: should I have been able to get away from this hand? Or is it one of those hands where I was pretty much doomed to lose most of my stack?
