This hand left me cripped and I couldn't recover from that tragedy. The guy who chased the flush that hand lost his whole stack by pushing an Ace-rag against an Ace Ace a few hands later.

Did I do anything I shouldn't have done with this this hand or was there nothing I could have done?

hey, Lance. This is a bad beat post. Try to aviod making them. You know that you played the hand fine. You know that you WANT your opponent to chase when he is not getting the odds to chase. When we dicuss hands here, we try to leave out the result. In the future, before posting a hand, ask yourself, "Am I posting this because I feel I misplayed it, or becuase my opponent misplayed it, but still beat me?" If I knew how to keep opponents in when they are drawing to nothing but running outs, I'd be a very wealthy man.

You're right. I there was nothing I could have done.

You ended this hand with 1200 chips and a 10 big blind and you were crippled and couldnt recover??

Your preflop raise is too little. In the first level of ultra low limit tourneys, you need to raise more to get rid of those weak draw hands. I pop it up to 60 here.
