Hi, this is first time I post my hand for evaluation. Basic handout says I should call flushdraw on the flop, but did I make a correct decision betting with monsterdraw on the turn?

Known players:
[tg]Position_Stack:hands/vp$ip/RaisePreflop/AF/WTS/ORL/BBvsSteal/W$SD;SB$1,31:61/48/2/0,7/47/0/0/67;Hero$2,50:///////;MP3$2,67:23/87/0/0,2/55/0/-/17;CO$2,57:37/78/5/0,9/61/0/-/25;[/tg]
0,05/0,1 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (6 handed)
Hand recorder used for this poker hand: Elephant 0.69 by www.pokerstrategy.com.

Preflop: Hero is BB with J♦, T♠
MP2 folds, MP3 calls, CO calls, BU folds, SB calls, Hero checks.

Flop: (4,00 SB) 9♠, 5♠, 4♠ (4 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, MP3 checks, CO bets, SB folds, Hero calls, MP3 calls.

Turn: (3,50 BB) 8♣ (3 players)
Hero bets, MP3 folds, CO calls.

River: (5,50 BB) 7♣ (2 players)
Hero bets, CO calls.

Final Pot: 7,50 BB

Results follow (highlight to see):
Hero shows a straight, jack high (Jd Ts)
CO shows a pair of nines (Jc 9h)

Hero wins with a straight, jack high (Jd Ts)

Well I would just check/call because you can't make CO fold and you need to improve. And I would like to see MP3 paying so if I improve I'll be against 2 opponents instead of just one.

Hi juodalksnis and be welcome to our FL section.

Your flushdraw is very weak in a multiway pot as you hold only 1 flushdraw card yourself. That means if you improve you are often beat by a better :spade: and if you are ahead you won't get paid off because with 4 same suites on the board they may fold too many weak made hands.

I think you could even fold this flop but with SB folding I think it's worth seeing a turn if no more action arises.

On the turn you get a nice OESD but your hand is still weak (no monsterdraw as your flushouts aren't clean) and the chance making them both fold is not that high.
As you want to see a river now I go for a check/call as well to make it as cheap as possible.
