Worst play ever? 30+3 MTT bubbled 72nd -- top 70 pay

[gr8vertical]

The guy that raised had been stealing blinds all day long and I was the BB so I figured I would call the min raise ( First mistake I assume?) and see a flop. Needless to say, I picked up a flush draw and said F* it hoping for a fold. Didn't happen. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

I'm sure the responses are: Well were you playing to get ITM or to win? I would have loved to get at least my buy in back but also didn't like the idea of pussyfooting around trying to just make the 50 bucks or whatever it was.

Anyways, I guess just tell me what you MTT'ers would have done in this situation.


One funny sidenote, during the tourney I was looking at a Hand history and the poker table popped up and i hit raise on accident. I had 72os....Blew like 1lk in chips just cuz of that [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
