You're not afraid of any draw. So it shouldn't matter to you how cheaply they get their draw. I'd call the flop and check min-raise the turn.

The "additional" price to charge one chasing the FD, when the flush does not beat your hand is 0.

But I understand your point. Assuming they WILL put in more chips for the misguided attempt, you want to facilitate this for them. The flop here, with this action isn't the place. Call flop, check-raise turn (modestly), value bet river.

Doesn't check min-raise turn tell your opponents you have a monster

maybe, maybe not. but it does give them the odds to continue - drawing, or better yet when they've now made a hand as well. but it is a consideration. depends. there might be a condition that would justify not showing your true strength until the river (assuming one or more are adequatly feeding the pot for starters).

you are in a GREAT spot to make a TON of money..you ahve flopped a FH, and have action behingd you and a caller behind...you are vulnerable only to a higher full, say KT or KJ, and that person has only about 3 outs to beat you on the turn and 6 on the river (if my math is correct)

Call the flop.
check the turn and decide based on that card what to do..I agree this is prob time for a raise, if both players are still in go for 3x, esp if flush hit and there's still betting.

Yes, this was too large a bet. I'd call the flop then raise the turn if they both come with more betting. If they both check the turn, I'd then bet 300-400.
