Fold. You are not getting close to the odds you need to make this call, and if you miss your draw you are done.

This may or may not be right. There is t600 in the pot and your call is 300. The pot is offering you 2 to 1 on your call. With this flush draw under the best case scenario, you have 9 outs or odds of 1.9 to 1, so the odds are there. The problem here is the limpers, if at least one of them has a flush draw, then you are down to 7 outs, and you would need odds of 2.6 to 1 to call.

You're assuming that you see the river for free and completely ignoring the straight draw.

Usually, in these spots, you look at the odds of making your hand on the turn. However, since you're so short, your never folding the turn with this draw, so you can pretend this bet is all in and you'll get to the river. In that case, this is an easy call/push with 12 outs (I don't think worrying about the A-high flush gonna get you anywhere). The interesting question is do you push or just call. Since you're unlikely to beat anyone in this pot without beating everyone, you should do whatever is most likely to keep players in. This is definitely a call in the $11s, as players won't often notice you've put in more than half your stack.

On the turn, you should check/call any bet.
