With this big pot, calling one more bb is not -ev.

Upon what basis do you draw that conclusion? There's got to be some math, interpreted along reasonable hand-reading, to get you to this conclusion, right? And what sort of continued action will let you know whether your hand is good or not if you pitch the extra BB in here?

Frankly, i don't see the difference between cold calling this flop and cold calling pre-flop.

The two that come to mind quickly are:
1. We have seen 5 of the 7 cards anyone will see and therefore have a lot more information than we had pre-flop.
2. We have seen the betting actions of our opponents against this flop, and therefore have a lot more information than we had pre-flop.
They are actually quite different. I'm not arguing strenuously that this is a flop fold, though I think it is; but saying that there is little difference between our decisions pre-flop or on the flop is dismissing a ton of available information in a game of limited information.
