$2 NL HE STT Turbo: Early Game AQo after hitting TPTK

What do you more experienced players do when you hit TPTK with a flush draw, bet out, and the 3rd card of the suit hits on the turn? If you are out of position, do you fire again? I am really curious about this because I have the tendency to often put other plays on things like flush draws and then check the turn allowing them to bluff me off my hand. In a shallow stacked game like SNG, is it okay to just ship turn in these situations? In this SPECIFIC hand, the decision was way easier because I held the A of diamonds, so if he had a made flush I still had outs. But what about in other situations?

Yeah def jam the turn like u did.
Villain will call with worse on the turn but if u check and it goes c/c he can fold most of the his range that would have called a turn shove on the river.
There isnt alot of flushes in his range because u have the ace of diamonds

In general I prefer betting oposed to c/c when I have a TP+1cardFD because the FD adds some equity to our hand but its so hard to get value when the board has 4 of the same suite on it.

Just watch your preflop raise size. In a tournament, you mainly want to raise an amount that gets the limpers to fold and leaves you heads up on the flop, without committing yourself too much. In this case, it looks like 200 was the perfect amount, but 325 is a pot-sized raise here, so 200 is giving your opponents odds to come along with whatever they have.

Everything else seems standard. In situations where you don't have a flush draw on the turn, it is a closer decision, and generally in a microstakes game, I'd lean towards a check/fold?

Sorry- I'm a bit confused here. 3 limpers = 150 + the SB and BB is 225. What do you mean by the 325?
