This player was very loose, I didn't figure him to have the flush since he would have bet the flop more. I was shortstacked and this was the best hand I've seen in the whole tournament.

Fold pre-flop

Fold pre-flop.

However, if you didn't fold pre-flop, push when the flop comes down. You're almost certainly ahead here, and have to make it expensive in case there is a draw.

Unfortunately, from what you say, he probably would have called your push anyway, and you'd have lost. But that's poker.
