Man I'm frustrated.... I just got eliminated from a tournament on this hand. This ISN'T a bad beat blog, and as much as I'd like to, I'm not complaining about it.
I would like everyones help though to tell me where I went wrong. What could I have done differently? I had just gotten moved to this table and it was my second hand. So I didn't know anything about the players...

He hit a 4 outer...don't worry about it, it happens.
I'd play it that way again.
Thanks JDE. I was worried about the flush draw too so I wanted to get him out of the hand...
Maybe I should have gone all in after the flop?
Great job Waterpilot!
Not much more you could have done differently. I would have played it the same.

Thanks Jude!
I thought I played it pretty well but am open to any other Ideas...
All in on the flop, he likely calls, putting you on an over pair, and liking his odds.
GL on the felt
