Re: 5 card draw hand
I never play draw, but I was just perusing this forum a decided to give this a crack.
This line might be overly tricky and would only work if you haven't made moves like this before. Cap it before the draw, you have position and can see how many cards each of them is drawing.
After the SB 3-bet and drew three, his most likely holding should be a pair of aces or possibly kings. The BB cold-call 1 card draw is probably a flush draw or a small two-pair (if he is LAG he would be more likely to cap with trips rather than smoothcall and then draw 1, unless he is also very tricky). This will sound nuts, but when it gets to you, rap pat. This will stop a bluff from the BB if he misses and the SB will probably fold unless he makes 2-pair or better. If either player bets into you after you rap pat, you obviously fold, but if they both check you bet.
This play is very dependent on how much the other players need to call and how suspicious they would be of your play. If you don't think that this would work, then I guess you played it fine, but this is always something to consider.
Another possible play here would be to bluff-raise the BB's post draw bet if you think that he bluffs too often after missing. The raise would likely knock out the SB unless he made a strong hand, and could get you the pot if the BB was in fact bluffing.
