I feel that the flop call is not the best (is it the worst?) play, a raise would be better to protect my TPGK, also it limits the field.

SB plays a solid 19/12 style and seems somehow reasonable, so I played here like a mouse and just called :-( Whats my line here?

You flopped a good but not great made hand and a decent but not great draw (as OESDs go, your one-card OESD on a two-flush board is relatively weak). And you've got a TAG leading the full pot into four players on a very drawish flop, with you being the first after the TAG to act. I'm not thrilled by any of my options, but calling seems like a reasonable compromise.

When the TAG fires a near pot-sized bet on the turn into two players, I'm thinking the situation is not looking too good, and folding is frustrating but fine. There's some chance you are currently best, but if you're not, you don't have any fully clean outs, especially with MP also still in the pot.

hey Nick C thanks for the advice, I really felt uncomfortable playing this flop, I do not want to get the pot big, and if SB re-raises again I maybe have to call :-(

So a fold is not that bad and I feel happy :-)
