stud/8 - 5th street situation

[Alchemist]

Seat 5 is unknown. Seat 4 is a very bad and passive calling station.

I think 3-betting 5th is wrong. Getting it HU with the flush gains me nothing, especially with spades so dead. With my low pretty safe against the 866, shouldn't I just call the raise on 5th to encourage him to stay in?
