I recently stopped playing poker because law school was too demanding of my time. However, I deposited a few bucks into PokerStars for when I have a few minutes to waste and need to satisfy my poker itch. Anyway, here is the hand:
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (8 handed)

Standard? Despite this being a low buyin tourney, I just can't think of a hand I'm beating here. Whether he has a set and is suddenly scared because of a flush possibility, or he actually turned his flush, I'm looking pretty bad here. I just can't see someone playing TP this way.
Oh, and I know the preflop raise is a leak. Should've been something like 225-275. I got greedy. =/
