    My thinking was flush draw out there vs my gutshot with one out contaminated was not worth the call on the flop but given the way it played out I am doubting myself and wondering if it was a no-brainer call or correct laydown or purely an "it depends"

    Standard fold. You have only 3 outs that you can feel comfortable about hitting.

    It's kinda results oriented to think you played wrong just because your gutshot ended up there. It's like folding 72o to a raise and then seeing the flop is 772.. too bad, you did the right thing.

    yeah definatly some results oriented thinking in there but also I'm just questioning my play a little lately with seeeing flushes too often as a scare factor then people showing down hands with 1 or 0 of the flush suit at the end and it's affecting my play I think, hence my questioning here.

    Yeah, you can't be overly scared of the flush, it'll eat your profits. But I don't think that applies in this case.. he bet the pot and all you had was a gutshot.. (ok, it turned out your Q and T were also outs, but generally they won't be)

    In a four-way pot this is an easy, easy fold. Even heads up I'm not usually making this call without a read.
