50NL - Suggested Flop and Turn Play in Large 3 way pot w/ draws

[allrightfine]

Button is 26/10/3 after 120 hands.
UTG is a donkey

Did I misplay the flop? My reasoning for the flat call is I wanted UTG to call so I could get the rest of his stack if as 10 or a spade hit.

As played, what is my turn play here? I'm getting about 2.3/1 odds here.

Call pf is meh, I'd much rather 3-bet this 4 handed.

I am always leading this flop. I lead a lot of flops anyway and am really hoping I can make a 3-bet all-in on this flop. As you checked, you have to re-raise this weak ass flop c-bet by button, forget about the short-stacked (posting UTG!) who checked the flop. You have made a pot which you cant steal and you cant call any further bets on by the turn, I don't really like this.

I'm folding this preflop or 3 betting it 25% of the time if the table has been aggro.

The flop call is fine since you're getting such a good price, but in this spot I'm usually leading 5$ trying to b/3bai.

On the turn I think you probably can call. You have 28% equity versus sets and 2 pair hands and 30% is break even, but you gotta figure something will go in on the river if you get there. I think a shove here is really bad; his range is really strong and you have 0 fe.

That said, I don't think a fold is too bad either. UTG is really short so hes not adding much value to your draw if he overcalls and he could easily have JT or spades which kills some of your outs.
