I always played with the thought that when large stacks push, they usually don't have a solid hand, mostly mediocre (top pair with crappy kicker or even mid pair sometimes). However, when they push only a portion of their stack, and it doesn't put you all in, but it puts a good portion of you in, they tend to usually have a strong hand and they're trying to chop you. When MP pushed all in on the turn, I put him on K10 at most because he didn't raise preflop. I also put him on QJ or Q10 as possibilities. Unfortunately, he had a flush. Should I have laid this down on the flop or turn?

I check/fold this on the flop. I definately fold it after the flop raise. I break my mouse folding it when he pushes all in on the turn.

Why would you call the raise with top pair/weak kicker with a flush flop?

I would also fold after the raise on the flop.
K9 is nothing to break your bank on.

Also, you had a lot of players in that hand pre-flop.
I might be worried about being outkicked by another king, if not already beaten by the flush.
