Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
BB has 5d Kd (one pair, kings).
Hero has Qs As (one pair, queens).
Outcome: BB wins t1275. </font>

This was the first half-decent hand/opportunity I had in the tourney and was fortunate enough to get the button and 1 caller.

If I didn't have the nut flush draw I would have folded to the flop bet from the BB. My reraise would only have got a bluff to fold but I figured there was at least some chance he may be pulling a bluff. This, in combination with the nut flush draw and the A overcard made it feel like I did the right thing by making a stand here?

Did I?
