With the pot now being at 675 and you only have to call for 150, your getting pot odds of 4.5 - 1, and your on a flush draw giving you odds of 4 - 1 which means the correct move is to call.

The real worry here is the button is yet to act

I could also semi-bluff raise to get a free card and knock out the button as well, and also see what the other players think of their hand.

I don't think the correct answer is to fold, but I'm not sure if I should just call or raise, and if raise, by how much?

Definitely do not fold. Calling is an option, but then you may be faced with a difficult decision if the turn bricks and the villain bets out again this time say more then half the pot.
I think raising to 375-450 range is good. If villain folds you take down a good pot, if he calls then he may check the turn giving you many options to bet or check then. If villain re-raises all-in on your flop raise you may want to call, I would. This also depends on how tight/aggressive villian has been playing.

Anyone consider pushing here?

[Sabrazack]

Im pushing here most of the time, two overcards, a gutshot and second nut flushdraw is a nice hand.

Pushing isn't as strong as, say, raising to 500 and then pushing the turn.

The SB has 850 chips left...if you raise to 500 and they call for another 350...say a brick hits the turn and you push they have to call. I would rather get my chips in here as a probable favorite then on the turn as a possible underdog.

There's 3 people in the hand. If the button now cold calls the raise (think set) I can still get away on the turn.
