First of all. Does the preflop coldcall suck?

I fiugured if BB had called my 3-bet on the flop the raise would have been for value. Is flat calling better?

I'm more concerned about your reasons for 3-betting the flop on a non-nut flush draw.

I disagree. I would 3-bet with any reasonable flush draw here. It's for value if the BB comes along (he didn't, which sucks). You simply won't run into a higher flush against you often enough to do anything else here.

Your coldcall is borderline here because you've seen the action, and you don't have enough callers to really justify it. In the BB I'd call, the SB is probably a bit too loose for me. I don't think it's terrible, though.

I 3-bet almost any flushdraw as long as enough people ar involved in the pot.

In this situation I also have 4 outs to the nut str8, which ads significant value to my hand.
