Fold preflop.

Flop call is okay, I guess. You don't have direct odds, but you can be reasonably sure BB is coming along (he seems to be on a draw as well), and there's implied odds. But you can't be sure any of your outs are good. So I'd probably fold here too.

I hate the turn raise. No draws were completed, so this is a simple bluff, and MP2 has already shown interest in the hand.

First of all, reload. You should always have a full stack.

I semibluff reraise flop to $2 because you've good equity. If called check behind turn, if reraised/pushed, push/call.

Your turn raise is terrible, it's a very weak raise and won't chase out worse hands. Just call, you get ok odds.

Fold before the flop!!!! Dont get in the habit of playing any 2 just because they are soooted.

You can even fold on the flop - your flush draw is not to the nuts, you're just splitting with any other J, and you're sandwiched between the two villians who may decide to get in a raising war when all you have is a non-nut flush draw and an oesd.

and raising the turn is terrible because your equity is worse there, if you wanna get gutsy raise the flop where your equity is better since you have 2 cards to come rather than 1
