Default 55 MTT near bubble: Hand vs big stack with Kqs

The big stack had been calling a lot of raises so I didnt put him on AK. I figured I'd check raise him all in on the flop. He called me with the nut flush draw and knocked me out [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]. Did I bring this on myself by not betting it out myself?

I dont think he would have folded if you would have bet out since your all in was enough to not give him proper odds so I don't see him folding here with his draw even if you bet out. I would play it the same with your read.

I would play it exactly this way as well! Just bad luck that he caught his hand!
