I was comparing this to hand quiz 1) in SSHE turn hand quizzes, where a bet is in order.
Potsize is roughly equal on the turn in both hands, but draw is nut-flush+(AK)overcards and there are 3 opponents who called your 1 bet on flop.

That bet is for value. We have 9 outs to the flush plus 3 outs to the straight all of which are the nuts. We also have 6 more outs which might be good. As a bonus, we might be ahead (having been checked to twice). We are less likely to be check-raised since all we did was bet, not raise, on the flop. We don't even mind being check-raised much because we have so many outs. Put it all together and its a bet. Here our draw is much weaker, so getting check-raised hurts us much more, plus we are a more likely target for a check raise.

As for whether this is a turn bet, it could go either way. Will your opponents check-raise? (You say no.) Will they call down with bottom pair? Will they fold the turn with nothing (having bet or called two cold on the flop)? Will they check better hands to you on the river?
