Them’s the breaks sometimes. I'm in the small blind, one limper and I complete with two little hearts.80/160 Blinds shortly after the first break.Guy on my left has me covered, as I'm slightly below average and he had been brought down from being the chip leader over the last few rounds.So I picked up a little flush draw on the flop, I bet, and get two calls. Make my flush on the turn, I bet the pot and get called. I’m thinking top two pair or something, blank on the river, I move in get called and it’s the nut flush. Ugh, I was small blind, and he was big blind. *sigh*, he played me like a fiddle.Anyone play this hand differently? I don't think I can get away from a flush, with no pair on the board.

It depends on the players. If the guy to my left (I assume this is the one with the nuts?) will slowplay large hands, I would've bet less. If he won't, I'dve checked on the turn to see if he caught his flush. I wouldn't put all my money in unless I had the nuts or knew that my opponent didn't.

Yeah, being out of position sucked here.I knew he was getting very frustrated, and had referred to himself as a bank a few times, as he had lost chips in large chunks.

In limit it's fine to pay overflushes off, it happens rarely and you recover when you ahve the only flush the majority of the time. In NL it's rare you get the kind of action needed to recover when you aren't seeing another flush.
