playing a 9 handed 1/2, have a stack of 500$~.
UTG+1 opens for 22 (very loose table, people are maniacs), MP calls, I 3bet to 75 with QQ. BB calls, original raiser calls and MP folds.
3way to a flop of K22 rainbow. action checks through.
turn is a 4 making a backdoor flush draw on board.
It checks to me so I bet 150 (pot 373), everyone folds and I take it.
Thinking back on this spot, I can't find a reason to bet the turn here, whoever calls usually has me beat, unless its pocket JJ or TT.
How do you think I should play this hand?

You bet for protection from aces peeling
Value from the bd flush draw
Lower pocket pairs not believing
You did well, once it checks through again it's unlikely someone has any king. If you're beat someone is usually slow playing a 2 here but that's it.

3b more pre, $75 is very small.
1/3 pot on the flop. Check looks fine too.
AP small turn bet seems ok, we can be perceived to have KK, AA, AK in this spot and check behind so we aren't too vulnerable to a bluff x/r.

I think you played it fine, perhaps a little more pre especially given table dynamic.
