3 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, 2 folds, SB calls, Hero checks.

I would fold. If he is betting the flush draw he is 2/1 to make it by the river but I would say it is more likely he is holding a K than being on a flush draw.

Bet the flop, now that you've checked the pot is small and you don't hav ea great hand, you're either far behind or marginally ahead, move on.

I would bet the flop if I wanted to continue on with the hand.

I check/fold here. You have middle pair blah kicker, with 4-way action. You have a ton of outs to dodge if you are ahead and are OOP.

But, if you feel like you want to make a play at this pot, bet instead of check/calling.
