I'd bet 5-600 on the flop.

More. With that much in the pot, a c-bet will pot commit you, and with what is the best hand 90% of the time, I wouldn't be opposed to a push in this spot. At the very least bet 800-1000 to price out the draws. Based on your flopped hand and the size of the pot all your chips will go in anyway, why not sooner so you can't get outdrawn?

[creamfillin]

first of all, raise more preflop if u were wondering. some might not agree with me, but with limpers before u, when u want to raise, personally i add (0.5BBs per limper)...some people might add 1 BB per limper, etc...but atleast increase a standard raise in some way.

flop: put yourself in his shoes, when there is 1100ish in the pot, u floped a OESD...are u gunna get involved for a min bet? obv...this is why a min bet is NOT a good play, basically ur pricing him in with any 2 cards..id chase a runner runner flush draw on you...id call just to see wut might come up on the turn if i was faced with the min bet.

turn: still way underbet if i remember correctly, u should have bet the good amount on the flop, 750ish, and shove any turn, if he decided to call the 750 on his OESD that is

river: wutever, call it

I missed this the first time I read the hand, but yes, raise more preflop. My standard raise with these stacks and blinds with a limper would be ~600.

I'd be more inclined to push the flop then bet out...with your stack that pot is more than worth it to take it down right then and there.
