You can't limp as there has already been a raise before you. 

I don't understand why you wouldn't just flat the raise as your deep enough to set mine in a pot which is going multi way? Your 3bet achieves nothing and is just throwing away chips.

Hi B

To my mind,  its not a great idea to limp especially early doors. However, here you are in sb, vulnerable, and its early. You are looking to set mine here, nothing else so why reraise then not catch and be out 75 chips which isn't putting anyone off? Or catch having driven out weaker hands?
 You want them in the pot because if you catch you most likely have the best hand.

Anyway, you've caught and the flush is a possibility. don't worry, you've still a 20% chance of a FH by the end.
3/4 pot bet is fine as you are betting for value. Mathematically, he doesn't have the pot odds to daw  a card though he may have an overpair and feel he is ahead as you reraised initially which impiled a premium hand. King of spades is horrible for you. He bets out and yes he could be repping the flush with say TT.  He could have two pr even so you have to call.

Remember early doors players play suited connectors a lot even hands like K5s so if the flush comes about they persuade themselves that it's the nuts. Sounds like you just ran into a flush then? Early doors should be renamed the boom or bust period for some TBH. In ne of the dtd T's last night 40+ had gone by the end of this level!!!

you can't say you 'should' play a pp any way

in both hands you've posted, calling is fine. Calling in the first hand > your small 3bet. In cash games and things you can 3bet small pairs in late position dependant on opponents etc..

Just because someone told you to raise when you enter a pot does not mean thats a good reason, no matter if its the right thing to do or not.

What was the purpose of the raise? If it was to try and push people off their hands you didnt raise big enough. If it was to inflate the pot then you have a hand which isnt gonna flop well very often so probably not a good idea to be putting a lot of chips in preflop.

Dont min 3bet and inflate the pot out of position you can peel here to setmine

 Hi B

So you are telling me he had AQ 0ffsuit and has carried on to bluff you off the pot but then calls your all-in with no fold equity. Well great stuff but you should now blank his name off this hand as well as any others in the future as you are giving info on people who haven't given you permission. No offence but without any reasons from previous pots maybe then his play imo is poor at the end and i don't understand it except that he felt he'd gone far enough and had pot odds to showdown ace high.
As long as you have a reason for a play that's fine. It may not be  deemed correct by some but you should have legitimate reasons for betting /calling/folding etc. You'd be surprised that if you tried to verbalise, during a hand , how many times you would find yourself out.
