NL25 monster draw vs. 3-way flop action

[WantToLearn]

Hi 2+2,
here´s a monster draw and I just call the flop.
I know I tend to play too passiv evere now and then. Line-Check would be very welcome, and thank you very much in advance!

<u>Reads:</u>
The player first to act is 32/7/4 over 178 hands, nothing special so far.
The player second to act is 19/5/4 over 79 hands, and I have one note on him: "slowplays flush"
General gameplay at table is loose and juicy.

So here goes:

Is your draw strong enough to raise big for value? IMO, yes. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I'd reraise to 8 here on flop. As played, turn bet is okay, but it would've been harder for him to fold had you made the pot bigger on the flop.

Definitely raise on the flop to around 8.

[ship_it_trebek]

I'd probably make a flop raise larger, 10ish.

raise flop to 10, push any turn that doesn't pair the board.
