drowned in the river again

I think ATo is good enough for a raise here. You really don't want to play multiway with this hand, and just getting the blinds is not a bad thing here. It also gives you a bit more info on the callers hands.

The flop raise is good, but I'm not sure on your thinking.

Raising gives your opponents much worse pot odds. If you just call they will be getting 6:1. With a raise you're making their odds 7:2.

Really, all I would be worried about on the flop is Q9, A9 or maybe 99. Hard to put BB on a hand as he had free play before the flop.

So, I think the flop raise is standard. When he 3-bets, I'm thinking two pair and that we are probably drawing. Any read on BB? Would he be this aggressive with A6-A2?.

The turn call really depends on the read as well. Taking a WA/WB approach and calling down isn't bad if he's capable of doing this with any Ace or just a Queen. If he hasn't gotten out of line I think the turn is the best place to fold, especially as the flush came in also.

Having button behind you makes me lean towards a fold also. His flop action really looked like a flush draw to me.

Once at the river, I call also. You have the 3rd nut flush (he can't have the Qh it's on the board).
