This hand bothered me all day today...

I didn't play any poker this evening. However, I am about to post a hand that I played yesterday in the Full Tilt Poker $50+$5 NLHE Tournament. This hand stayed on my mind all day today because I can not believe this guy called me down all the way to the river on a flush draw. Granted, I had nothing but Ace high. However, I raised from EP preflop and I made pot sized bets on the Flop and the Turn. I felt I had established a tight enough table image that this guy should have read me as strong. But I guess if you have a large stack like he had accumulated in a very short time, you can call a guy down to the river with AKs and hope to luck up and hit it. And yes, I know I could have bailed out on the Flop and the Turn.
