400 at party

I'm new to the game, but have basic understanding of wtf is going on. Just curious on the flop call, to loose? Any comments on the hand would be great.

Looks OK to me.

Raise or fold that flop, calling is the worst thing you can do. If you're against a big pair with spade flush draw, you're in trouble. If you're against a straight wrap, you're 2-1 favourite. What you don't want to be is in a 3 way pot, because you don't have a 3 way hand. One guy can be holding a better flush draw and one guy can be holding easily 2 pair or a set meaning your equity will be around the 10% mark. It's up to you to decide whether hitting 2 pair will be good enough and whether your flush draw is live. If you think it is, then raise, otherwise fold, because you do not have a multiway hand.

I would also raise the flop.

You won't chase away the short stacks off any nut flush draw or any two pair here for $70 more, so I don't think it makes much difference calling instead of pushing. If you were deeper I would probably fold the flop.

Raise the flop.

Raising the flop will still make the SB fold some hands that he wouldve called with which is good for us.

With stacks as is I would be tempted to reraise BTF. I would rather play headsup and your hand plays well against AAxx. Reraising may also knock a player out who has bigger spades or clubs than you.

Medium position makes it $18 to go preflop. Did you not catch that bit? Reraising is suicide, especially since your hand actually plays better multiway than heads up. As more people come into the pot, your equity is reduced, but the amount you will win is more than compensated.
If you pick up QJ98 double suited, sure you can raise it preflop against limpers, but you don't want to reraise with it at this limit, as this only leads to bad things.

You should always have a minimum of $400 at all times. I always click refill whenever I can.
