Well, this hand ended up being my virtual demise in the tourney.
After my push, my opponent stood up and started cursing about how lucky I was to make my flush. He then said "well, I have to call." He had K-7, making 2 pair on the river.
I'm not sure if he would have folded his TP-7 kicker if a different flush card, or an ace had come on the river. I'd like to think that the chances were good enough to justify my play of the hand, but I just don't know.
I'm pretty sure that everybody is right and that I should have just folded the flop. What's funny is that there was very little chance that I would have folded there as the hand was happening. That's the challenge for me when analyzing this hand: I need to figure out what's wrong with my poker mind such that the best/correct play hardly occured to me in real time. That could be hard to fix.
I busted out the very next hand by open-pushing with JJ and getting called by the same guy holding a weak ace.
Meh.
