Ugh. Probably, but there is a HUGE difference. If you had bet out $150 then the BTN has to call $150 to win $580 (25% - not the right price for a flush draw or OESD to call with one card to come) vs. as played, having to call $110 to win $650 (17% - essentially correct price) and SB only has to call $110 to win $760 (14.5%).
This is why the x/r needs to be more than if you had just bet out and if it's not then you are giving them the correct price to call with a draw
This doesn't even address how you gave them a very good price to continue on the flop with your x/r sizing against 2 opponents.
