While PFR may check the turn 1 of 3 people will usually find a reason to bet and most of those scenarios will be at least as good as hero's donk.

There are lots of reasons to 3-bet the flop. One of them is that it makes the turn easier to play. Lead if you hit, check if you miss.

On the other hand, it lets your opponent bet when you check to them on a brick and flat call if the turn brings the flush and you're still betting. They get more information than you do here.

I think I would check-raise that flop. You know UTG is going to bet, so you could trap some additional bets that way. But what if UTG three bets?

Check-raising the flop may also camouflage your your flush draw. When you lead on the turn as it is now, it screams that you completed your flush.

I dont get it:
1. I call this PF all day. Nice call, OP! (Getting 5-1 plus implieds might not be enough for a flush draw, but it is enough for a flush draw with an ace.)

2. I raise this flop all day. The only worry is that BB will not come along for the ride, but there is not really too much equity lost when losing him.

Good point, that's the reason why I started to think I misplayed this hand.
