Don't think it's worthy of extensive research or discussion. Just didnt understanding anyone considering it to be a bad play. Again I haven't run the equities but with a live flush and straight cards it might be pure value on 3rd street
But there are other advantages to the extra action as well. When two plays are close I tend to put in the action
Sorry, I'll try to add clarity to my thoughts.
First, I don't play stud hi very often. So I don't have loads of experience.
Second, what I understand is that you want the pot to turn into a mountain from small antes. It seems that the best way to do this is to call on third with almost all of your flush draws so not to exclude the guy behind you. But, if you re-raise here with none of your flush draws, then your range when you re-raise is too narrow, so it's a matter of striking a balance. So, perhaps to strike that balance you should raise a small percentage of your flush draws, and personally I like the livest cards, and the highly coordinated ones to re-raise with in this spot. If you always have AA or rolled-up then that's not good. Also, you can potentially earn a free card.
add: Basically what you said above. Raise for balance. Except, I'm thinking about just betting the whole way through seventh if you catch bad on 4th, and 5th.
