Thx for the responses.

TBH, I didn't think too much about the flop, I just wanted to get out a flush draw. The paired board wasn't intentional. Chopper got it on the head with the "inverse relationship".

It just hit me the other day when I was on a nut flush draw and at first I was to much my hand but then thought that should I get the flush then I will be paid off handsomely as either someone else is on a lesser flush or is paying no heed to the flush possibility and is pushing on with 2 pair regardless.

Out of curiosity, why should the paired board slow you down - risk of a full house?
