Tough one.

You are getting 3.17 to 1 pot odds to call. However, I assume you put him on 66 or 33. If so, you are behind and need to make the flush to win. Since the odds are 4.11 to one to make the flush and the pot odds are 3.17 to one, it would be incorrect to call.

You still have plenty of chips in relation to the blinds so there is no reason to panic so let it go.

- Raise more pre-flop.
- Raise less on the flop. No need to price out the flush draws since they are bascially drawing dead to you.

Given how you played it, you should push on the turn. The pot is 520 and you only have ~800 left. You are against 2 opponents who have already called you on the flop. I'd just push and avoid the messy situation you are asking about.
