Flopped a baby flush

Hey guys, now that I'm back in action I have a question for you. 5+.50 on Stars, blinds are 15/30 and I'm in the BB w/ T1,1795 which is a tad over avg. 5 limpers to me and I check in the BB w/ 74s.

Flop is 89J all spades. SB leads out w/ a 40 chip bet, I raise to 300. I get a call from a reckless bigstack w/ T2,550 and a unkown for the most part in MP (T2,100). Everyone else folds.

Turn pairs up the 9. Whats my action here? Now that I've put in a large raise on the flop and gotten a call from two decent sized stacks how is my hand here?

I would've liked to see a stronger bet on the flop to discourage big stack draws and protect your hand. I'm thinking the calls would most likely be higher flush draws depending on the player. The 9 most likely presents a scare card for the others as well so a nice sized bet on the turn could take it down. If you get reraised, you might have to lay it down.

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking T300 was a pretty nice bet here on the flop. I'm def. open. Thanks again
