It always seems like people bet when they hit that flush, and the fact that I got two callers made me even more nervous. I didn't feel like risking my whole stack at this point on a hand that very well could have been best, but might not have been. Or, I could just be paranoid because I had a bad session yesterday.
What do you guys think?

I would have bet more on the flop with those two diamonds on the board. Fact is though, this early in a tourny, anyone with two spades would probably make a donk call.
I would have bet about 300 though.

On a sidenote. The flushcard and in this case also a straightcard may scare the other players too and kill your action. Alot of value from sets go down the drain because they are played hard on dangerous looking boards.
That being said I probably get a little more in on the turn, with a set atleast we can (usually) redraw if behind. Plus plausible hands got draws for the river and we should make them pay alittle and alot of cards can also potentially kill any action on the river.

Thanks guys, I just finished 13th in the tournament... sucks I didn't make the FT, but I was so card dead it's a miracle I got as far as I did.
