Does anyone fold this turn because of the possible flush on the board and considering that 3 others called the flop.

I would actually go so far as to not bet the turn. 3 people called the flop, one of them is going to have a flush draw a good portion of the time. Theres just no way Im betting into 3 possible flushes on the turn for 200 chips.

i agree with curtains. i dont particularly like the turn bet here because a flush seems quite likely and putting that many chips in the pot makes the hand more difficult to get away from.

i also wouldnt bet my draw first to act on the flop. what is a 45 chip bet trying to accomplish here?? i would check, see the action in front of me, and react accordingly.
