$11 SnG on UB. Start with 1000 chips, blinds go up slow as a turtle.

BB 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif6/images/graemlins/spade.gif
Blinds are 10/15 and we've got a full table. Stacks are within 30-60 chips of each other in this hand (980-1040).

3 limpers (EP, MP, LP) in the pot and I check.
Flop is 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif5/images/graemlins/spade.gif9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif
I check, EP checks, MP bets out 40 and everyone calls.

Turn: 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif giving me the nut straight but now a possible flush is on board.
I bet 100 (1/2 pot), EP raises to 300, MP cold calls 300, LP folds, I fold.

When I bet out I think I'm ahead here and actually going to slowplay. Now I realize how bad this is with a 3 flush on board when I have no spade redraw. However once I run into a raise and a coldcaller I put one of them on small suited spades for a baby flush. This thinking was clearly wrong as I think a baby flush has to push here to drive out a solo high spade or at least charge them the max for trying.

How would you have bet the turn differently and what do you do on a 3x raise and coldcaller (provided you don't push)?
