Really difficult decision, I would like some analysis and advice how to play such draws in general.

Full Tilt Poker, $5 + $0.50 NL Hold'em Sit n' Go, 25/50 Blinds, 9 Players
LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter

SB: 1,705
Hero (BB): 1,180
UTG: 270
UTG+1: 1,435
UTG+2: 1,910
MP1: 1,015
MP2: 995
CO: 2,590
BTN: 2,400

Pre-Flop: (75) A♣ 6♣ dealt to Hero (BB)
4 folds, MP2 calls 50, CO calls 50, BTN calls 50, SB calls 25, Hero checks

Flop: (250) J♣ 5♣ 9♥ (5 Players)
SB bets 125, Hero calls 125, MP2 folds, CO calls 125, BTN raises to 600, SB folds, Hero raises to 1,130 and is All-In, CO folds, BTN calls 530

Turn: (2,760) 6♥ (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

River: (2,760) 4♠ (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

Results: 2,760 Pot
Hero showed A♣ 6♣ (a pair of Sixes) and LOST (-1,180 NET)
BTN showed J♥ T♣ (a pair of Jacks) and WON 2,760 (+1,580 NET)

Fold to the button raise. You could consider folding on the 150 bet. Yes you have the odds but with so many players left to act it is unlikely there won't be a raise if we assume solid players. You've invested essentially nothing into the pot other than your BB.

I would prefer a raise on the flop rather than flat calling but I think folding here is probably best.

i like the flop call after the weak donk-out. i fold to button's raise because we're not given the right odds to call, and he is always calling our shove, so our folding equity is non-existent.

in short: call/fold.
