Preflop: Not sure about calling this.

Flop: I would have gone for a check-raise if you could trap everyone for a bet, otherwise just call the bet.

EDIT: Whoops, forgot that you had a gutshot straight draw as well. Now, if we do some rough discounting, you have 8 outs for the flush and 3 outs for the straight, thats 11 outs total. Even capping against 2 opponents, AND having to call a bet on the turn, you'll win 8 small bets 1 time (plus at least one turn bet) for a total of at least 10 small bets. You'll lose 4 small bets plus 2 small bets on the turn 1.4 times for a total loss of 8.4 small bets. Thus the total profit of capping on average is 1.6 small bets.

So yes, capping is OK.

Turn: check and call.
