Hi wkretchi,
When the flush completes I would fold to the check/raise.
You have too few outs to improve, and there are no implied odds, since all opponent's money is in the middle already.

The question for me would be why you are 3betting the turn. Now you are isolating yourself against better and you you are committed if villain shoves. I would most likely just call the turn and fold on a healthy river bet. Even folding on a check/raise isn't to crazy with 4 outs to a full house and you expect villain is only check/raising with better.

Cheers,

I agree with SDK.. the turn is probably the best just to check back. With to many draws here villain probably has a better hand. The river would be a a call if villain made a small raise. Else fold

You should size up on the flop and turn. You want to protect and get value. You can't play this as a triple barrel so bet 2/3-3/4 on flop+turn.
Against a turn raise, I would call and then fold river. I don't think folding would be a bad play as we beat nothing.

bet larger on flop
turn: most people only have flushes or better here

if he's really passive i think you can definitely bet/fold 2pair. you can bet/call sets and decide on river. most people don't have the balls to show up with bluffs here.

3betting is clearly a mistake - you will just end up folding his bluffs and getting it in vs flushes - i would very much rather call turn and call (perhaps on a blank) or fold river (definitely on a 4th flush card, maybe on a blank)
