anyone in the zone enough to lay this down on the turn?

Uh, cap the turn. Raise the river. Call a 3-bet.

I probably would have 3-bet the flop.

After that, I think I would have played the hand like you did. MP3 called two cold on the flop and then, after the third spade hit, bet the turn and 3-bet your raise. I think a bigger flush is very likely.

Still, I wouldn't fold.

Uh, what does it look like MP3 has?

No. Without a read, a 3-bet on the turn after cold-calling the flop usually means "I have the nuts"...but I would still see this one through. You drew at your hand and made it...so pay it off. I would not throw in any more raises either.

I would just call down. This is an enormous pot, BB is just pumping in dead money, and you're not likely to have to pay more than 2 BB to call down. This seems easy.

I play it the same as you.

Turn 3-bets when the flush comes are usually better than a 9-high flush. So don't raise.

But "usually" is not "always." So don't fold.
