Default Tricky play with middle set

Here is the situation:

2nd stage in Royal Vegas steps, blinds at 15/30. I've maybe played 1 hand in the first blind level.

J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] UTG and I raise to 110, called by UTG+1 and cutoff, incidentally the two largest stacks at the table.

Flop comes Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]:

I lead out with a bet of 210, or a bit more than half of the pot, cold called on both spots. It seems probable that one or both were on a strong draw, with a high possibility that one has a made hand.

I had 1160 left after the flop and with a turn coming up a blank, I led out with 600, showing that I'm committed to the pot. I was not pleased that UTG+1 cold called again (he outchipped me by about 600 or so at the beginning of the hand). At this moment, I was fearing that he has AK in the hole. Cutoff folded.

The river came 9, filling all possible draws even if UTG+1 didn't have a made hand. Had to check and fold to an all-in bet.

After reviewing the hand, I feel that a better line would be to bet on the flop, perhaps about pot size to test the waters. If I still get cold called, I must slow down and maybe check-fold then.

Please offer some advice as to how to play this hand.
