jam the flop or wait for safe turn card???

Just curious if the best play would have been to jam the flop with the almost certain best hand, or wait for the turn to really push it, since there were so many cards that could potentially beat me.

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (8 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is SB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
1 fold, UTG+1 calls, 1 fold, MP2 calls, CO calls, 1 fold, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (5 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (5 players)
Hero bets, BB calls, UTG+1 calls, MP2 calls, CO raises, Hero 3-bets, BB calls, UTG+1 calls, MP2 calls, CO calls.

Turn: (10 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (5 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG+1 bets, MP2 calls, CO calls, Hero folds, BB folds.

River: (13 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
UTG+1 checks, MP2 checks, CO checks.

Final Pot: 13 BB

Results in white below: 
UTG+1 has Td Qs (straight, queen high).
MP2 has Kh 5d (one pair, nines).
CO has 7c 2c (straight, jack high).
Outcome: UTG+1 wins 13 BB.

With that amount of oppoents in front of you a check/raise may give you the best option of winning the pot. having the bottom end of a straight witha flush draw on board you should thin the field and win the pot right away. Check/raise flop, lead turn, check that horrible river

c/r the flop is prolly ur best option here too. if the turn was a better card, id go even more crazy then

Just reiterating the bet out on the turn.

You don't know that anyone has a queen yet, the CO could have raised with many hands that you are still beating, it is best to bet again, because if you are ahead, no free cards.
