Clueless muppet

This hand is just about indicitive of my luck of late. Not sure what this clueless muppet thought I had, but to call for all your chips on the flush draw isn't the smartest move. The best he could hoped for was me to have an over pair like QQ, but even then it'd have been a coin flip.
