On third, you have a medium three-straight with four dead straight cards in sight and a two-flush with two more of your suit out. This has got to be a fold unless you're stealing (it's a non-standard steal position, but you could try), and if you're stealing you have to complete. Limp/call is the worst possible option.

I like the other streets okay, though you could possibly represent a four-flush/broadway draw with a raise on Fourth and gain some fold equity if you catch another [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] or big card.

I would have thrown this away for free on Third.
