Should I be calling this 3-Bet pre-flop?

Should I be playing this made flush more aggressivly?

Thoughts on all streets appreciated, just starting to play SHNL seriously.

I would much rather have position on this player postflop. As played I think you need to c/r the flop. He may/may not have a spade, either way, letting another card peel can either kill your action or give you a second best hand.

calling the 3 bet pre isnt that bad as long as you can get away from one pair hands and the such. i like leading the flop because he raises all made hands/strong spades and you can either 3 bet all in if he raises big enough to make him commited to a call or call and get it in on the turn otherwise.

The fact that were almost always flopping hands that we need to "get away from" is pretty much the problem. Calling preflop is probably a leak unless we intend to make some plays at some point to steal the pot when we have a draw. (a pair of Ts probably counts as a draw to 2 pair/trips if much money goes in). Also this guys 3 betting range is probably too tight to take it away from him much post flop.

we dont have enough behind to really call this against a player with these stats.
A bit deeper and yeah, id call here a lot.

yea you guys are probably right, not the standard play to call but if your somewhat good at hand reading and the such its not a terrible play.
