Following your gut

I know I'll get flamed for the call, and in hindsight I don't like it myself. BB is looooooooose, and his timing to do the C/R just screamed "I HAVE A FLUSH DRAW" to me.

I didn't think enough before pressing the middle button, I just went "yer on a flush draw, I call". This hand sucks, but it made me think about some things...

I have a few questions for you guys...

1. Do you ever go with a "read" when you're playing?
2. Assuming my read was correct and he only had a flush draw, is the call correct?
