It was fairly early in an online NL tournament. I get KK :D . Flop comes all :) , no ace. I bet 2xBB. One fold. Remaining player goes all-in with an amount that would leave me with pocket change if I lost. I haven't had a chance to get a read on this player, so I almost have to figure he's good for the flush. (Although as I'm typing this I'm thinking if he'd actually had the flush he would have slow played it.) Do I call his all-in or do I run and live to fight another day?I chose the latter course, but it's been bugging me ever since. If he's bluffing or semi-bluffing then calling is obviously the proper action. If he's got two small clubs then I've got 7 outs to draw a higher flush and some backdoor draws to a full house. If he's got A :) X :) then I'm screwed. My take on this is that it ultimately comes down to whether I believe he's got the nut flush. I don't recall exactly how much was in the pot, but given the way the betting went I'm guessing I was getting about 2:1 on my money.Thoughts?

We need some more important info before we can help. First, positions and chip stacks. Second, action before the flop and players to the flop. How many levels in? How were the others seeing you at this time? Also, this might help. Before the flop in No-Limit, use multiples of the big blind to define your bet amounts. After the flop use multiples of the pot size. So, in your case at this point with a scary flop a bet of at least 3/4 the pot size would have been a minimum bet. I would tend to over-bet the pot in this situation to define the strenght of your hand to the other person. Your small bet looks like a weak lead for information and was gladly raised.
