Re: a bust out hand... sometimes pot odds won\'t cooperate
No. This played out exactly like it "should" have. You took a good line. Villain had top pair with 2nd nut flush draw and possible overcards to someone else's two pair with AJ/A7. There's nothing really clever you could have or should have done here. Any bet you could have made or any deception play you could have made would have been irrelevant.
When the money went in, you were a slight favorite. If you hadn't bet the flop, he almost surely would have, you'd have pushed back all-in, and he'd have called. If for some reason he didn't bet the flop, and the turn bricked, you could have pushed the turn and denied him calling odds.
