A high flush, with a pair on board

In limit hold'em if you hold a Ace high flush and their is a pair on board the flush becomes a calling hand in loose games. How do you treat the situation in NL hold'em?

Does anyone have atleast some general rules?

I think there are many more factors that have to be considered in order to make this decision: What position are you in, was there a preflop raise, what type of game it is?

Also what was the pair?

In a mid/high stakes nl holdem game and the flop comes

J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
and your holding A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
and there are several callers then you might be
in danger of a boat.

However if the flop comes
9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
and there are several callers then you might be alright to call or raise, it's not likely of someone holding 93 or even 33.
