Re: Free showdown
I think if you're going to raise for a free showdown, you should probably fold when BB 3-bets.
The showdown raise itself seems okay to me, but I'd be more optimistic about it if BB weren't leading again into two people who called him on the flop. Also, I have some doubts about getting BB to fold anything you'd like him to, so that potential advantage of the raise doesn't seem to be a big factor here.
It is a good raise if BB has a flush draw (or OESD) and will give up and check-fold the river if he misses, though.
Edit: Also, in the unlikely event that he's on a pure bluff with a hand like JTo, he might fold to the turn raise, and you'd like for him to.
