Throw out a standard 2/3-3/4 pot bet; we've got a pretty vulnerable hand with this draw-heavy flop and need to bet for info and to protect it. Not to mention also for value.

Ummm.... bet?

I don't get it, why is there any doubt over what to do?

^ this

180 bet seems appropriate here. which will probably get one maybe two callers if one is a donkey who feels like chasin his flush and the other legit caller will have something like Q-J.
And after studying the level you were at and the callers to your initial raise preflop, Ill say there will be more than two callers to any bet lower than 180

How much should I bet?

With 270 in the pot, bet around 250-300. Quite a drawey board, you likely have the best hand, and one of your 3 opponents is likely to have caught a piece of it.

I don't like the pre-flop raise with KQo, but after this flop, I make a pot-sized bet to discourage the chasers.
