    When you called him, it was 53:47 in your favour.  

    It aint a bad beat to lose that.

    You might want to post the hand in hte Poker Clinic, and describe the full circumstances, and people will comment on whether it was a worthwhile call or not.

    I'm a useless player so I'm in no position to give advice, and I also dont know the circs.

    But, imho, you'll rarely be against a lower pair, and not all that often against just one overcard.  The large majority of the time you'll be against a bigger pair (you only have about a one in five chance of winning) or two overcards (it's almost a coin flip, with you having the slight edge).

    If you've decided the other guy is so low that (a) there is a greater than normal chance of him having a hand you are a big favourite against and (b) the loss will not badly hurt your stack, then so be it.  But you need to know you are taking a risk, and be sure that you wont be tilted if you  lose.

    And the fact he beats you by drawing a flush is irrelevant, and should not be more annoying than if he hits a single 9 or a single K, or hits the unlikely straight.


    (What always annoys me, I must admit, is if the board paired twice (say Q and T) to counterfeit your pair and give him the win.  I hate that.  But it's just one of the risks you voluntarily take when all the betting is done pre-flop and you therefore lose the opportunity to make decisions as the cards come out.)

    Super duper easy shove, you didn't do anything wrong. This guy has 5xBB, not even worth considering folding 88
