5/5/10 live game. Game isn't very good, but all the relevant players in this hand are fishy.
EP: $350 stack, older guy, fishy, generally passive, but no real reads
BB: $1200 stack, not horrible, but definitely overly loose, more willing to gamble when tilted (he's not tilted at the moment, AFAIK)
Hero in MP: Covers everyone at the table, good image
Button: $1500 stack, big fish
Hero is dealt: Q

Preflop:
EP limps, hero raises to $50, button calls, BB calls.
Flop: J

BB checks, EP leads pot of $210, Hero...?
So I flopped huge, but technically I could be in bad shape if I'm against a made hand and a higher flush draw.
Reads:
EP: I think his range will be heavily weighted towards "made hands" - two pair or set. I'm not sure, but I think fish of this variety are more likely to open shove these types of hands more than hands like pair+NFD.
Button: This guy is horrible. If I flat here, he'd overcall with hands as weak as T98x (good), or Q-high/K-high flush draw (bad).
BB: I kinda got the sense he was disinterested in his hand, but I could be wrong. If I shove, I think he'd fold a dry nut flush draw.
My hand is huge, but with only a ten-high flush draw, I'm not sure if it's better to isolate and drive out higher flush draws, or call and hope that other weaker draws/made hands come along. In the hand, I shoved, but in retrospect I think calling might've been better. I'd like to here others' opinions.
