Dont really know what to do here. If this was limit holdem or a cashgame I guess id raise to find out where I stand and to lessen the field, but with the 20+2 guys who like to call I didnt feel like gambling early with a somewhat marginal hand. Any suggestions on other ways to play the hand or do you think it was an ok fold?

good fold, IMO

after you see a bet and several callers you should have felt good about folding what was probably the second best hand (if you were lucky /images/graemlins/wink.gif ) Plus your hand could "improve" by hitting a jack or a 9 but that still might leave you behind and could cost you

there's too many in the pot for you to consider continuing with top pair 9 kicker

Yes no way in hell I play this hand. This should become a very clear fold for you. I would fold KJ here also, but Im very tight in multiway pots early in sit and gos.

Nice hand.
