I think it's fine. You're going to call 2 to win 8. I don't think it's a bluff often enough.

I like the two open folds on the flop.

I'm closely torn between raising (with the intention of committing no more money to the pot) and folding. With no read, it's pretty close in my mind as this is the an excellent bluffing card.

I think calling down is a lot better than raising here. He's 3-betting a flush and you're wasting 2 BB. He's folding a bluff, and you're preventing him from bluffing again on the river. Unless you had a read that this player would fold two pair to a raise (I don't know how to get a read like this [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ), I don't see what it accomplishes.

looks fine to me, pot isn't that large and he bet out on the turn rather than the river which is a big difference in terems of bluffing frequency.

It hurts laying down those rockets but the board is so ugly.
