Default All-in with TPTK and board pair on flop... advice please...

I'm not sure going all-in on teh flop was the best play. Here's what I was thinking:

A big pot (37 big blinds) with 4 other people. I have TPTK but there is at least a flush draw and if another Q or 5 falls then I may have to split the pot with somone (another Q with weaker kicker).

The pot is large enough that a pot sized bet (3.7) would not quite leave me with enough for another pot sized bet on the turn. So I figure chances are I'd go all-in on the turn unless a scary card came (of course then the pot may be lost).

So rather then go all-in on the turn against maybe 2 opponents, I figured I'd go all in right now and take my chances that no one liked their hand and maybe getting a worse hand (Q with weaker kicker) to call me.

Any advice on a better way to play this?

Thanks,
Justin
