JTs In 3-Bet Pot

In this hand I turned into a station and just went with straight pot odds to draw to the flush. Problem is that I could have been drawing dead since my flush is just J-high. Not sure if I should be letting this go sooner or shipping it in or what.

This is the first 3b pot vs this villain so no real read as far as his play in 3b pots.

Hero (SB) ($140.60)
Button ($104.50)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 10, J

Button raises to $3, Hero raises to $11, Button calls $8

Flop: ($22) 6, 5, Q (2 players)

Hero bets $14, Button raises to $28, Hero calls $14 -- shipping it in here is good if he's doing this with a 5, 6, or a straight draw. I wasn't sure what his range was for this min-raise was so I just called.

Hero checks, Button bets $28, Hero calls $28 -- straight pot-odds call on my part.

River: ($134) 2 (2 players)

Hero checks, Button bets $37.50 (All-In), Hero folds -- don't get there :/

Total pot: $134 | Rake: $0.50
