ur avin a laugh, its 2:11 am on a saturday night and your asking for people to give logical opinions on a hand with no pictures. Wait until the morning when the sensible ones wake up to get a proper reply. For my two bits worth, i feel funny on this play - i hope this answers your question, im off to bed now ZZZzzzzzzzzzz.

Right im sober now so i will try to give you my two pennies worth. After the flop you had a 3/1 chance of hitting the flush, with your chip stack being low id have either gone all in or got out. After the turn, you didnt have a million outs, you had four 6's and four J's plus seven diamond (9 minus the 6 and J) Thats 15 outs assuming your opponent hasnt got any. He bets 850 so you can assume he has something and your behind, so if you dont hit the flush/straight your gonna lose,thats still 3/1 underdog, however you were pot committed. This is the classic example of what happens when you go chasing cards, however when they do hit its great. I do things like this myself, as do plenty of others, its hard to fold, but sometimes you gotta get out early or go for it early. Please dont take this reply as gospel, cos im only a fish lol, its only an opinion.
