Is this just one of those opponents who will chase no matter what, or should I have played the hand harder?
Don't usually play the $1 tourneys on Stars, but hey, I logged in and it had just started (1min in) so I thought "Why not?"...

SB's tiny turn bet somewhat confused me, but I figured my raise would be big enough, either to induce a fold or even for value against AQ type hands. I really didnt put him to be chasing the flush at that stage with my pfr and flop bet. But what else could such a ridiculously small river bet mean?
A few hands later (15/30), I get dealt 99 in MP1, UTG and UTG+1 (BS - 7.5K) limp, I raise it 4BB, BB (player from above) calls and so do the limpers...
flop comes 7d 6d Ks: chk chk BS bets out 90, I raise to 220 BB calls UTG fold BS calls.
Turn 9d, now Im pretty sure one of them was chasing the flush, so not the 9 I wanted to see, BB chks, BS bets 1/2 pot I fold and BB minraises, BS calls:
Spoiler:
Thoughts on that fold?
This was only the 2nd hand I had seen BB play since the one above, and BS was new to the table this hand, so again, no reads on opponents. But in my recovery of the 700 I had only shown down good hands.
Will post result of first hand after some responses....
