You're out of position relative to the raiser. Your raise should tend to knock people out, when you'd really like to keep them in. The value of three-flushes depends some on implied odds, and every raise shortens your implied odds. If you knew that all the limpers were going to call, then raising would be OK, but even there, I prefer to keep the pot on the small side so that the rest of the hand is easier to play. If you just call, you are pretty much guaranteed that you'll have a five-or-more-way pot for one bet, which is very nice for your hand. By raising, you run the risk of having it be three ways for three bets, which is a lot less attractive.

I've read 7CS4AP twenty-something times. Some of it's starting to sink in.
