seems standard until the turn.

you raise pf to try and steal the button, it didn't work and you flopped what is probably the best hand (albeit w/o re-draws), you bet for value and to figure out where you're at on the flop. 2 callers means not that far ahead.

you probably could have slowed down on the turn so you can let it go on a bad river. on the river you can't beat anything but probably have to call with a pot this size.

By slow down on turn do you mean checking or betting a less amount?

looking over it again the amount you bet is the worst. it gives the flush draw just the right amount of odds (including implied) he needs to take another one off.

take a few seconds on the turn and try and get a feel for how commited you are to this hand (dependent on the reads of the other players and what they would need to call a flop bet). if you bet, a flush gets there and you're going to call, you might as well pot it on the turn. if you think that there's a good chance one of them turned the straight or has straight/flush possibilities and you're not willing to get stacked then check/folding is fine on the turn too.
