I should've reraised the flop, right? Then fold to the reraise on turn?

Yeah, you kind of did this one backwards.

The pot is small on the flop and the bettor is right next to you. This means your raise will give anyone with a flush draw incorrect odds to continue.

Calling down is fine after the turn 3-bet. An aggressive opponent could have as little as A /images/graemlins/heart.gifTx here, or something like KT, T8, or 77.

Then make a note about your opponent not raising AQs.

If I'm doing my odds right is it really incorrect to continue with a draw? Making the Flush on the turn is 4.22/1 and calling the raise is 3.75/1. Aren't the implied odds of hitting the flush great enough to make up this difference?? Thanks... Might be a flaw I need to correct as I wouldn't hesitate (well maybe a little /images/graemlins/grin.gif) to call a raise with a flush draw here.

You are right about the odds, I'm not sure what I was counting.

You should still raise the flop.
