Paired board, odds are they aren't raising the flush draw or A4, I'd say it's a good laydown. Plus, you don't have very much committed to this pot yet.

The area where I don't like your play is I don't think you've opened on the flop for enough. The pot is over $6 and you are only betting $4 into the pot multiway with the board paired and a flush draw out. I'd be more aggressive here, at least a pot-sized bet.

It's not a weak/tight fold though... that board with two raisers coming back to you just smells like trouble. And it's DEFINITELY not impossible to put either MP2 or the CO on a 9.
