Standard? I'm not sure about the flop 3-bet, but at the time I reasoned my pot equity to be way higher than anyone else's, given the size of the pot and an ~40% chance to make a flush by showdown. It seemed like a good idea at the time... is my train of thought correct?

By any count you have 12 outs (15 possibly). At no point in this hand should you stop betting.

Standard.

Preflop: superstandard.

Flop: Four people already put money in the pot and you have monster draw. This is a wet dream. Don't ever slow down with this many opponents.

The rest plays itself.
