I 3 bet here preflop because I wanted to build the pot against so many opponents, hoping to hit the flop hard. I barely hit it at all but with two overcards and a flush draw and a pretty big pot. Then I picked up a gut shot, still with enough odds to see river.
What were my mistakes here?
Should I cold call preflop?
fold on the flop?
raise the flop to try for a free card?
or something completely different?
