Wouldn't really complete with others at this level with that hand. Also wouldn't call flop with a bet and 2 callers in front. After that it just gets kind of horrible to call anything imho. Want to see what others think tho.

Calling preflop is okay.
After that you get more than good enough draws to chase.
Nice hand!

At the $3.40s, I'd certainly be folding this preflop. I'd probably limp w/ QJs at worst here. Yes you're getting the right odds to chase the flush OOP, but even if you hit your flush it's far from the nuts. I'm assuming you ended up against a better flush? Being extremely nitty at the $3.40s is a great gameplan.

i would have played it the same way. Odds too good throughout.

If anything i am a nit early, but i don't know where people get the idea of folding this pre flop. That is just wayyyy to tight for me. There are three limpers in already, and it cost me .5bbs of my near 30 bb stack to take a flop with a decent hand. also i know i will most of the time miss or hit a small piece, but i am not going broke here with a 9 high board.

The players at this level are terrible, and if we fold here we are missing out on a great chance to take a flop and possibly stack one of these donks then coast to the bubble.

Am i wrong in thinking that completing here is wrong?

This early in a multiway pot I definitely would be completing here (folding is best if you are teh sucks postflop).

You played this fine.

I also call preflop. I propably fold on the flop though, theres just too great a chance that someone else has a higher flush draw.
