Its the tail end of the night, close to the end of the second game, a physical game (not online), we had been playing for about four hours. Blinds were 400/800

The odds of you making a flush or a straight combine to be roughly 3ish%, and that's probably a high estimate. If he has any better ace, or any pocket pair, you're looking at 70-30 odds at best. I'd wait here unless it was desperation time, and even then i'd rather push when i wasn't dominated.
In retrospect what you say should have been pretty obvious to me. Oh well, live and learn
