This hand gave me trouble, is it right to draw to a four flush on the board?

That's the world's easiest fold. When you make that strong a raise and get two calls on the flop, you're looking for a reason to get the hell out with the rest of your stack intact. The flush draw--one of the two was probably drawing--coming in is all the reason you need.

Assuming you're behind now--which you almost always are--you're only going to make a better flush on the river one time in five. Less than that, actually, in the likely event you're up against a made flush (that's two fewer diamonds that could hit the river and win for you).
