I dont CY, really, elaborate?

Many people have very loose flop betting standards. Folding a flush draw to those bets is just pissing away money. Heck, I call cheap bets all the time with crap like air, bottom pair and missed pairs. Lets see a turn card and turn bet baby!

Then throw in the escalating stakes at every street, plus our hero way over-playing his pair on the river. Implied odds are good enough that it can't be a big mistake.
