 The saying also includes "don't chase straights when there is a flush draw out there". Although I sometimes like to chase the straight and rep the flush.

Probably not. Not unless I could also see them playing trips this way.

If you put them on trips then it is usually a bad idea to chase straights/flushes because you don't know which of your outs are clean (plus the fact that you might be drawing dead). The king is a particularly ugly card to hit your flush on.

Add in the fact that this guy is probably playing any Qx, and the chase should have ended on the turn. There are better opportunities to take his chips.
