I find myself having the best hand on the turn, but the turn also really affects my hand because it makes the players more aware of a straight/flush/whatever. So what do you guys think? Should I have raised on the turn? Or just called, and hoped one of them bet out on the river and raise them then, or bet out on the river and get called?

Consider folding preflop.

Otherwise, I would've raised to around 3-400 on the turn. I'm guessing one or both of your opponents, who've already voluntarily put money in the pot on this street, thinks you're bluffing (not likely to put you on 10,7) or raising a draw and calls.

Slowplaying the turn is not awful here with a rainbow board and you holding the nuts, and has the advantage of letting them try to catch a card on the river that helps them - however, you're not likely to get any more money out of them unless that happens.

use the hand converter btw.

I agree with drwnded and would emphasize that if you often find yourself in tough situations in a SnG, dont play T7! LAG play is not the road to success in SnGs, the stacks arent deep enough for it.
