You have pot odds to call. It seems likely he made a straight. Queen high flush is very strong if you make it.
I don't think I would fold any flush draw here. |

On of my big problems is, when drawing to a non-nut flush I always getting scared, that someone is drawing to a bigger flush.

It happens, and it is going to happen. But in the long run lower flushes are still profitable hands, and you having 2 of a suit plus having that suit on the board make it less likely someone else has a higher flush. But it does happen, and you will loose sometimes. That is poker. Sometimes you just have to sling your balls over your shoulders and go for it. Playing scared will cost you money. |

I'm recovering from a 100BB set-back, and am definately not showing aggression (read ![]() I understand that a flush is a strong hand, but what if my high card had been lower? How low a high-card would you guysstill have called 2 bets cold?? When I hit the Fold-button I had a feeling I woul dregret it.... And yes I do now see why I shouldn't have folded. |

It's hard, I know, but you have to do it. If you KNOW what the right play is, then do it. I just had a 190 BB downswing, and it was hard for me to play correctly. Maybe you should take a day or two, or three, off till you get yr mind right. [ QUOTE ] I understand that a flush is a strong hand, but what if my high card had been lower?

I also know a good poker player is naturally adverse to cold calling, and for good reason: it is rarely correct. This is one of those rare times. |

3 bet the flop.
Bad laydown on the turn. Your flush will win more often then not. |
