You're looking at 3:1 from the pot (roughly) for a 6:1 chance of hitting the flush - even if you do hit, you could end up against a boat, and lose even more chips. You don't have much implied odds, as one player only has a dollar left, and the other has about $20 left - so at best, you can get 5:1 odds for you're 6:1 shot. Fold that every day of the week.

Fault always lies in the same place, my fine babies: with him weak enough to lay blame.

Not with the board already paired, i would never call that, maybe if i want to gamble if the board wasent paired, but i don't think so anyway.

No question it's a good fold there.

He almost made a big mistake letting you see the turn. When I flop trips and see the obvious draws on the board I'm comming big as to not allow the correct odds to call. If they disregard the odds and get lucky so be it. I'll do everything I can to take that one down right there.
