I would raise and call if 3-bet, then raise the turn after MP2 bets into me again.

Raise. No one's going to believe you flopped a flush anyhow.

but they might fold to a 2 bet. why raise when you have 2nd best?

With 4 people left to act behind you, I stongly consider just calling the flop bet. Your position relative to the initial bettor sucks as far as being able to trap people for 2 is concerned. If it had gone Bet, Call, Call, Call, Call, Hero...? I'd say definitelyr raise. As it is, I think just calling is fine so long as you put a raise in at some point, probably the turn.

Calling is fine. Raising is fine. You just better not fold!

Monotone boards like this kill your action. I'd probably just call on this flop and hope someone after me raises. I will be raising unless something very weird happens. The only way I'm rasing this flop is if the table has a couple of maniacs and a few calling stations. That way you get all the action you want and get it earlier.

Add that and the fact that you'll get lots of action on flops like this from hands that don't expect you to have a flush (and hands that are drawing to the nut flush or other flushes), and I like a raise here. People are more likely to call two on the flop than on the turn, and you want to get them tied to the pot if possible.
