And what now? I have a gutshot, there's quite a lot in a pot, but there are 2 flush draws on a board so is it worth to call here with a gutshot?

You have 4 out to make your straight. 2 of those 4 could give someone a flush and they might even be holding a Q. You could also win with an A or J (less likely with the board and what they could be holding).

I don't see how you can justify this call. If someone else sees why I'd really like to see it. (One aspect of my game that really needs work.)

Fold the flop.

The way I am seeing it, the Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] might do you more harm than good. You have 2 outs to a winner and 2 outs to possibly the second best hand. Toss it and play when its better for you.
