FT of $50 PokerRoom MTT. 190 entrants...down to 10. Final table just sat. I'm about 3rd in chips with 31k. Blinds are 800/1600, no ante…going up to 1000/2000 in < 2 minutes.

I have Ts7s in the BB. Two limpers (EP and MP) to me. I check. Pot is 5.6k.

Flop is Ks 9s 6s.

I obviously like this flop and would typically bet the flop, but I’m hoping someone was trying to trap or caught part of it and will take a stab at it. I check. EP checks. MP bets 5k. I bump it another 20k. Pot is now 31k. EP (has me covered by 5k) pushes 35k at 30k-ish pot. MP folds. I call expecting to see a better flush, hoping for something less.

MP turns over a set of 9s and fills up with the 6d at the river and I'm out.

I don’t have a problem with the action or the result (I needed a new monitor anyway :P ) but would love some feedback on the following.

1) how do you play that weak flush oop? As it was, I got the action I wanted, but what’s standard…check it or bet it with two people behind?
2) I thought the limping with 99 in EP was odd; at 15BBs, I’d usually raise the 99; what’s standard?
3) If it had been me, I’d probably have bet the set of 9s and called my reraise, thinking “Ugh…made flush” but then talk myself into his range including As, K6 or set of 6s and I’m 35/65 to the flush and more often than not get shown a flush and kick myself when I bust out; at 15x the BB do you look at someone who basically says, “I know someone bet the pot and you’re still to act but I LOVE THIS BOARD” and say “Screw it, I have a set and I may not see a better spot and if I win I'm in great shape” and take the chance that you’re in all likelihood a 35/65 dog with 1:1 pot odds?

Thanks in advance for the response/caning/whatever.
