The flat from both BB and MP was disconcerting, especially the BB who could easily have a 7 here.  Hence the check on the turn, and I probably would have folded to a significant bet from BB OTR had I not flushed.

My questions:

1.  Anyone think I should have raised or folded preflop, rather than jump in behind two limpers?
2.  Am I too conservative not betting the turn, and would folding to a river bet had I not flushed be too nitty?
3.  Is the reraise OTR advisable, particularly given a read on BB having a 7 at least?

Other thoughts are of course welcome as well.

I don't play Rush, so I'm not sure what affect that has on the game. I'm raising this on the Button all day. You thin the field and your in position. A way of thinking about it is, Would I call if I limped on the BTN and the BB raised? If the answer is yes, then I raise myself instead.

As played the turn check for pot control is fine.
And that's the worst club on the River, because the two cards most likely to be held by someone with a 7 are a 6 or 8. But the BB led for so little, the MP just called and they've played the hand very passively so far ... I think a raise for value is okay. Ax and 7x are calling, and it's just bad luck if they filled up.

I probably fold to a raise behind me PF; I just limped because it was already a multiway pot.  Now I'd open raise all day from BTN, but with EP limpers, not so much.

Raise pre, bet-fold $.50 on the turn.

Inmy experience with Rush there aren't many multiway pots since most people use the quick fold, so I think you have to be very suspicious.  Not an answer, just an observation.

True.
