6 to 1 on third
antes .80; bring in .50; call .50; raise 1.00 = 2.80 in pot

it costs him .50 to call the raise vs 2.80 already in the pot which is close to 6 to 1.

Equity of an Axx 2 flush runs about .2 and higher against most pairs

Thanks for the explanation, Ray. I was thinking it was a $1 to call the raise.

As for the equity, are you saying he had a greater than 20% chance of winning the hand? When, I run AcQc2d against a pair, I get around a 40% chance of winning the hand.

That leads me to my final question: what relation do the immediate pot odds have to the odds of winning the hand on 7th street? That's like comparing apples to oranges. If you look at what the immediate pot odds are offering, then you need to compare those odds to the odds of winning the hand on the next card--not the odds of winning the hand with four more cards to come. And, since there is no card that will win the hand on 4th street, how are the immediate pot odds relevant?
