Been reading the STT board for a couple of weeks now. Started playing UB 5.50's on sunday, got a 2nd and 1st, so so far so good. Been reading a lot of the old posts, just trying to absorb as much as possible. Had a hand tonight that I wasn't sure if I played weak-tightish, or if I was justified.


UTG is fairly passive preflop, not raising much, but seeing lots of flops. He is very aggressive postflop, raising quite often. I only saw him show once, when he went all in on a gutshot draw.

<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t200</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t1080</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: t1760

Questions: 1) Was my continuation bet too small here? Would it have even mattered how much I bet?

2)I have just the right odds to draw to the flush, and maybe even better if I catch a K or if I'm already ahead, but I guess I'm more worried about busting out. Am I thinking about this the wrong way?
