Default Top pair, top kicker, nut flush draw, worth the plunge?

Game had just started, so I didn't know anything about villain. Any input on any of this hand would be appreciated.

Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t10 (8 handed) converter

BB (t1000)
UTG (t1000)
Hero (t955)
MP1 (t1000)
MP2 (t850)
CO (t975)
Button (t2010)
SB (t2210)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t30</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls t30, CO calls t30, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB calls t25, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Flop: (t130) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t130</font>, MP2 folds, CO calls t130, SB calls t130.

Turn: (t520) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t300</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raies t815(All-in)</font>, SB folds, Hero ???.

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.
