Default Chasing draws...

Hey, I'd like to get some opinions on post flop play when there's the possibility of a flush draw.

For example, say you're sitting in the BB with something like A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and you get 3 limpers from mid position to the button, the SB calls and you check.

The flop comes: A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I would normally bet about the size of the pot to chase out the flush draw by giving them incorrect pot odds, but say the mid position and cut off then call, now the button and SB have correct odds to call on a draw.

Besides overbetting the pot to chase everyone out of the hand I don't see a way around it, and this in my mind would be risky because you're then on your back foot if another heart comes and therefore the implied odds could justify the original call?

So would the best solution be to simply bet around the size of the pot to give at least the next two to act incorrect odds and hope that another heart doesn't come on the turn?

P.s. If this is in the wrong section I apologise!
