Your question shouldn't be "how far to go with a nut flush draw" - It should be "flop NFD on paired flop". Once the board pairs, the entire hand changes. You're no longer drawing to the nuts. Of course you don't GII here. The only thing villain is putting the money in with is a set, a flopped full house, or trips.

Pre-flop is your raise to small I think. On NL2 it’s better to raise 3bb from early position. This way it’s more likely you play 1 against 1 post-flop.

The flop play is tricky for sure. Calling for 3bb on the lead is fine I think to control the post.
Now the SB is check/raising and the BB is min 3betting I would fold this for sure. 1 of the players has at least trips and if you are up against a FH your drawing dead. it’s likely if you call against the 2 short stacks you will end up in a 2 way all-inn as well without closing the action.

Now you need to call the rest as well for only 34 bb more with so much invested already. Also, it’s smart to remove the outcome of the hand next time or put it in a spoiler.

Hi, this is actually played wrong. It´s fold OTF, after we spot this huge action. When there occurs 3bet in MW pot, u can expect very strong holdings (basically sets+ only), even raises in MW are so rare that it´s almost 100% of the time value bet, so yeah, u can easily fold there your FD and u should fold even TT for example (AA probably as well, depends on villains).

And raise for 3bb from UTG and MP, if u raise only 2BB u are giving too good price to blinds and BU, they will call u wider.
