Monster draw on flop (PP $100 6-max)

Thanks a lot for all the replies and insights they were very helpful. Anyway I did shove figuring I had good equity if 2 people called (although that probably isn't correct but at the time...) and combined with whatever little fold equity I did have it probably wasn't too -EV. But I like the check/call line a lot now.

If the turn is headsup and a blank falls though I'm not sure how to play it. If I check and he bets can I really call now? My hand would be so transparent and my implied odds would be so low I couldn't see it being +EV.

If I hit my flush on the turn how much can I make. It will be obvious and I feel I would only get action from a higher flush or at best a set/2 pair will call 1 more bet hoping to fill up, maybe a second bet on the river maybe not.

If I hit my straight there will be 4 on the board, only 1 on my hand so again it will be obvious won't it? I think I see the advantages of check/call on the flop but I don't understand the turn.

Results:

Hero calls 126.35 (All-In), BB calls 21.85 (All-In), UTG folds, Button calls.
