    Default Implied odds to call this?

    I really didnt put anyone on the K. Read on the button was that he was really fishy, played super weird hands, called down a few hands with mid pair no kicker, etc. I actually put him on the 3, and the increased bet on the river i think supports my read...I know its a terrible draw, the runner runner flush. But here 8's and 10s were outs too it looked like. I actually hesitated for like 10 secs before letting this go. Would anyone ever think to make this call with a read like that? Or am i just being dumb because of what came down on the turn and river?

    I would've folded that too. Looks like calling stations who may have gotten some piece of that flop or are holding an A. Runner/runner flush is like a 1 in 20 chance so if you call the $1 in bets you would have to win $20 to make this a consistently winning play.

    Also, you don't get implied odds with a flush draw the same way you would with a straight of full. Even a calling station may not call his whole stack down when he sees the board flush.
