Default A baby flush draw is confronted with repeated raises...

PokerStars 0.05/0.10 Hold'em (10 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. UTG+1 posts a blind of $0.05.
UTG calls, UTG+1 (poster) checks, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Button calls, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (6 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(6 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP1 folds, Button calls, Hero calls, <font color="#CC3333">BB 3-bets</font>, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, Button calls, Hero ???

What does poor Hero do? Capping because he knows that he's got an equity edge? Calling because he fears a set and doensn't like to be outdrawn to a FH or because he fears a bigger flush draw that might know as much about equity edges as he does (though that is likely giving them too much credit...)? Calling and putting the question of capping back in UTGs court and treat the outcome as a kind of divine ruling?

EDIT: WTF am I writing here?!?! Playing and posting doesnt go too well togehter.
UTG already called. So the decision is up to me. No more UTG capping.
(About just coldcalling instead of reraising - I wasn't sure what a 3 bet would do to the limpers if he capped behind me. Wanted to get accustomed to the thin air slowly...)

Start by betting the flop. What the hell else are you looking for when you complete the blind with this sort of hand?

3bet/cap for value.

I will also usually lead the flop but I have no issue with checking - call it personal preference.

DrModern, there was a PFR.

I would like him to bet to be able to raise behind (and I was sure he did, and if not he, then for sure Button. He bet everything up to this point). If I bet and he raises (not even mentioning UTG 3betting), the field is faced with two or even three and might decide that their bottom pair doesn't look too pretty anymore.

oh, my, just about 5 idiotic posts in half an hour. Enough for today. Can you go drunk on tea or something? Time for a sobering beer, I guess... [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
I can only assume that I wasn't concered with the possibility of this getting checked through...

Anyway, question answered: Raise for value; not raising because of fear of a higher flush or turned FH is MUBS.
