Check raise the turn.

Bet the turn. If the turn checked through it would suck.

[clownshoes]

Bet the flop. Bet the turn. Check/calling there turn here is awful.

bet the flop, bet the turn, bet the river?

[siccjay]

I bet this flop in an unraised pot 100% of the time.

I would bet the flop for value if I hit my flush. Without reads on the other players I'd suggest that they would have all called along, adding 1.5BB. Button probably would have folded.

Then bet the turn. Don't want to take the risk of it being checked through and missing out on 3BBs. In your situation, after you checked and UTG+1 led out, I would have raised. It is likely that UTG+1 or UTG+2 were waiting for a fourth spade to hit so at best another 3 BBs would be added. Had the fourth spade hit, I'd wait to see what the action was before folding.

Lead out on the river and hopefully you get a call.

I agree. You've already missed out on some value from not betting the flop. I don't really understand the check/call on the turn when you most likely have the best hand. Were you afraid of another [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] on the river perhaps?

Tricky? Honestly this is pretty basic flush draw hand to play. Bet the flop for value because no one else showed strength pre-flop. Bet the turn because you hit your flush. Bet the river because your flush is 95% still good here.
