AJo flop MP and BDFD (nut flush). Raise for a free card?

[Oink]

The donk could be anything from Kx to worse made hands and draws.

With the pot being 3-way I raise the flop to protect my hand and bet/fold the turn. By the river I have a decision between checking behind and value betting. I would be inclined to value bet if no draws fills up.

As played with the pot HU on the turn I raise it for a free showdown. Folding this brick is giving up way too much value IMO. If villain is likely to 3-barrel a draw I dont mind just calling down.

The Flop-Raise is a standart for me, calling is really bad here, because you want to kick SB out or you want to let him pay for the draw. Folding is much to weak, you've got SecondPair best kicker in a Shorthanded game, the board is drawheavy, so protection is rellay important, furthermore if you call you don't get any information. Raise the flop, bet the turn, if raised on the turn I think I would call (depends on the turncard), because the pot is about 8.5BB in this situation and then also call the river.

Since this is 6-max and you very likely are ahead here, I think raising is definitely the way to go.

Things get a bit more tricky if you are 3-bet, or if he S+G's you, but not raising here is too passive, IMO.
