Somewhat loose call preflop but I had position and it wasn't a very big part of my stack. Also I'd seen some of the other players be pretty frisky after the flop so I figured my implied odds were good.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

BB (t1860)
UTG (t1490)
UTG+1 (t1610)
MP1 (t1470)
MP2 (t1450)
CO (t1450)
Hero (t2740)
SB (t1430)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t30, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises to t120</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls t120, SB calls t105, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t90.

Flop: (t510) Q/images/graemlins/club.gif, 7/images/graemlins/club.gif, 5/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, UTG+1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets t150</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t500</font>, SB folds, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to t1490</font>, MP1 folds, Hero ???

I think a call is in order because I have outs to a FH and people will sometimes try this move with the Ac and a pair so factoring in bluffing / semi-bluffing the odds are about right. But I'm also curious whether I should have raised less or at all since my raise pretty much committed me to the pot. Do you think I should risk all those chips at this point in the tourney on a flop like that?

Easy call, you're not always behind, and always have outs to the nuts, unless he has QQ, but the day I start worrying about that is the day I see monsters under my bed, in my sleep, and around me when I'm walking or something.

What about the raise on the flop? I'm looking to see if there are any other (possibly better) ways to play it there.

I hadn't noticed that. A call is okay though I think even given that, it's less than 7% of your stack, he has lots behind so if you hit you may well take the lot, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see AA here with Ac, or KK with Kc, something along those lines, sometimes I guess you will see AKc but.. meh

I think a you could have raised slightly less on the flop say around 200-300 and still detered alot of them from drawing to a fourth club to their ace/king of clubs.

I don't think that if he had the nut flush right here he would have raised you all in because he would want to string you along and really wouldn't be worried about the full house. I would think he would have the Ace of clubs and anything else not a club, or a flush under an Ace/king

This is almost always a flush but you're getting 2.6:1 on a 2:1 shot so go ahead and call.
