Flushes are overrated

[TazQ]

I'm a limit player by trade, learning NL. Opponent is pretty loose passive. Is this fold silly?

No, it's not silly. The board is paired and your flush is puny. That's an overbet on the river push, and I think getting away from it is a goot idea. I think you played it OK. It smells alot like 44 from where I'm sitting.

little flush draws are over-rated. Nut flush are amazing /images/graemlins/smile.gif.
