That's true, but if one of the other players has a flush draw, and the other has 3-5 outs, and one guy is drawing dead. Or better, they both have flush draws and are discounting each other's outs, on the whole that looks like good action for your even though it's good for the flush draw.
Though it does put you in a tough spot if the flush is completed and the bluffer still bets out inexplicably into 3 people. I mean, it looks like the bluffer completed his hand and there are two behind you that you have to worry about.
You also do not know that the other two are going to call until after the fact, and it is entirely possible that if one had a flush draw they'd make a bet to try to "take it down" w equity to boot if there are two callers. So, it takes some assessing of the probabilities, but overall if you do get to induce the bluff, which is also an *if*, then it's pretty damn cozy from where I'm sitting. Gotta love getting dead money in the pot.
