Default Re: Did I spew chips here or just a bad spot?

Looks like a spew to me. the 3-bet pre-flop is fine, but not out-of-position with a weak hand that can't showdown. also, the 3-bet pre-flop builds the pot up early so that your flop continuation bet is big enough to commit a material portion of your stack. I would not make this call without at least a decent overpair like JJ. This is because unless your opponent is capable of a stone-cold bluff with air in this spot (even after your 3-bet pre-flop), you are usually going to lose the pot. This is because with anything less than JJ, you are usually behind to a bigger overpair - and even when you are against some sort of two-way draw, you still lose half the time, so in the long run, it's too costly.
