Re: The Nut Flush Draw
This strikes me as a very standard three-bet. You've got all the following going for you:
1. Position
2. Nut draw
3. Ability to take a free card
4. Possibility to secure a free card
5. Equity edge against as few as two others opponents (probably)
6. Some metagame value in confusing your opponents by three-betting with a draw...
And so on... The SB check-dude is usually folding anyway so there's no reason to call to encourage his action. Forcing out the BB bettor isn't much of a concern either as he's clearly going to call pretty often and sometimes even if he does fold he may be folding a hand you want him to...
