calling and three-betting if the action comes back to you

because you want to build a huge pot and not drive people out of the pot

If the SB checks I should be betting out here, correct? I'm just not content with my flush draw play lately.

Easy, with your equity flush draw, you want to encourage callers, not discourage them.

If you have reason to believe a bet will come from your near left, I would C/R here. If nothing leads you to believe this will happen, then yes, bet out.

you have a strong draw in a small pot. You call in order to keep players in and build a pot.

Its not the size of the pot that determines the fact that Hero should just call as opposed to raise. I leave it as an excercise to the micros crowd to figure out why Hero should just call here.

your four to the flush and backdoor straight draw give you much more than 17% pot equity. you want callers here, having them face two cold isn't a good won.
