Re: Is it healthy to be playing flush draws like this?

You would also raise here to get people to fold so that your overcard can earn you some outs.

The question was specifically about how to play this as a flush draw, but I can't see myself raising even if I thought it was good now. We have a tiny pot with, barring the flush draw, an awful hand. Taking risks in small pots with weak holdings is a good way to lose money.

I don't know if this makes its +EV, but it makes the EV better.

The EV may be marginally, very marginally, better, but still a long way behind just calling.
Note that even calling here is marginal. Hero is getting only 3:1 on his call. Even if you add 2 outs for the Ts, you still need 3.2:1 to call. The +EV in this call relies on at least one overcall.
