      I have to agree with PocketAcesJohn here. You went up against some sort of calling station and you feel bad about that? Be grateful that you did. That does not happen this often nowadays. Most people would at least raise you to see where they stand instead of simply calling with one pair.

      I would be really happy to get raised when I flopped a flush.

      @OP: are you asking whether you could somehow have made him fold if you were bluffing?

      Dont expect bad players in micros to fold top pairs or overpairs. They're bad for a reason.

      I don't feel bad at all..... :D

      I put him on ace of spades hoping for a 4th spade - hence the pot size bids from me to make him pay for the priviledge

      Cheers

      Flat calling with 99 - then he really would have been a fish :D
      And he would still have lost :D
      On reflection, I think I gave him too much respect thinking he had A :spade:
