Not sure about this one

I was at a .10/.25 NL at UB the other night after taking a nice beating at .25/.50. My bankroll was getting low so I stepped down. I was feeling a little desperate and trying to keep myself from playing stupid because of it.

Anyway I get dealt sitting in mid position. I limp through and 3 others call.

I'm wondering how others would have played this. I have top pair with the flush and straight draw. I thought about it for awhile and with my outs and desperation I threw a check bet that got called by 1 and raised by another. I then decided to make a push even though I figured the raiser had the AsXs which diminished my out for the nuts alot.

Was that the right move or should I have just called him to see the turn?

Needless to say I didn't get either of my outs and of course he had the flush. I think this stung a bit because of the downward streak I've been having and the inevitability of my bankroll disappearing.

sounds like desperation to me... fold that to the re-raise if you think he's got the nut flush. 2 outs is not something to bet your whole stack on.

If you put him on the flush, you've got to fold. You can't draw for 2 outs or a runner boat.

If I was thinking with a clear head I would have probably not have called or raised that. Now that my bankroll is useless I'm going to take a small break and try to relax so I can come back with a clear head.

I was in the breaking even stage of my game and it seemed to be inevitable for me to swing down. Hopefully a break will clear my head a bit and allow me to play better poker.
