Deep and a simple stealing attempt turns into tricky play

[jimmer]

what do you guys think of this. It started as an attempt to steel the pot, but when i hit middle pair and flush draw, I'm thinking i'd be happy to win the pot now, but call his all-in if nessasary.

What was the right play on the flop?

I'd rather have a better hand than T2s with stacks so short, but flop play is fine.
