Default $215 middle pair, flush draw, bkdr straight, Too Pretty To Let Go?

Lots of lines seem attractive to me here. The overall question is are you willing to get it all in? Was my flop lead good, even against a bad scenario, say limped AA by the CO, I have very good equity, but I am slightly behind. However, after my flop lead, pot odds make up for any disadvantage I may have. Also, I could be ahead of A high right here...
What would you do and why?

PartyPoker Regular Tournament, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t3412)
CO (t5877)
Button (t3586)
Hero (t3160)
BB (t3965)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, CO calls t200, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, Hero calls t100, BB checks

Flop: (t600) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
<font color="red">Hero bets t300</font>, <font color="red">BB raises to t1052</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, Hero calls t752

Turn: (t2704) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">BB bets t2713</font>, <font color="gray">Hero folds</font>

BTW, prego converter is getting pot sizes wrong.

Yeah me too...I actually can't think of why and give reasoning but this is a natural checkraise for me.

Seems impossible for him to both have a better made hand than you and a better flush draw. 3-bet all-in on the flop unless you think he must have a strong made hand to do this and is very unlikely to fold.

Or not.

I'd fold preflop.

i would go for a CR push on the flop. the way it was played tho, get it all in on the flop the 2nd time.

seeing as how you didnt commit urself on the flop, the turn is very difficult to play and you are now on the defensive. check call a decent bet and fold to any real bet.
