This is my dilemma. I have lost a lot of money with FD on the turn when the action is bet, raise, 3 bet, cap and I am along for the ride stuck in the middle.

Do you find that these are quite often cases of reverse implied odds?

Win one of those and you can miss your next dozen draws.

The problem with hitting the draw, is you are putting in, given the action with 3 people, enough money in on the turn to break even. You really hate to hit your draw on the river, while drawing dead and 2 people are throwing money in the pot as fast as they can. Sure, when you win you win a big pot, but it doesn't make up for the times that you are drawing dead.

If there were more people in the pot, then I can see it being profitable, but with exactly 3 people, aren't we in a hurt locker if the action doesn't slow down on the river when we hit?
