Have you ever played fantastically in a tournament and your 6th in the entire field coming towards the money. But then a guy with the same amount of chips comes to the table and in just one hand your crippled. Heres what happened... I had 24k in chip other guy has 26k, I get delt AJ of clubs, flop came 7(H) 2(C) 9(C), he bets i call, turn Q(C,) he goes all in, i call, he shows Q9(Two Pair), i show AJ(flush), wat comes on river.........Q(S), after 2hours of solid play im gone, with nothing in my pocket.
Kind of annoying

Yup.......that is kinda annoying. You had a very good hand, and some bad luck. Better luck next time.
Take care and good luck.
IMHO you should have folded after the flop and not chased the flush
not sure what the size of that bet was tho
after getting the nut ....you..should have pushed all in...not call an all in. (He probably would have chased it anyways). Late in matches ive had this happen enough times after having the nut flush to be very aware of full houses...so beware. A pair on the board should raise a red flag..Also, have you noticed after the 1st break, only power hands win? catching high sets...full houses..flushes....straights....how many times have you folded pre-flop only to see it flop onto a monster?....kinda makes you think about your opening hand requrements...(jk) I wonder if the "system" goes into a tougher skill mode.
That late in a tourney before your ITM play super cautious.. and like Fold-Intern said...only be very agressive against the shortstack. Play it safe...... remember the pig gets fat and the hog gets slaughtered......be the pig
