Flush draw

As for the flop my question is why bet here - you are unlikely to pick up the pot here and if you can't do that you probably want to keep people into to pay you off if you make your draw. I would just check and call here rather than lead out.

Yes, I think you are right I should not have bet out on the flop. With three opponents and two high cards it's unlikely they will all fold. If I had just two opponents or if the 9 of spades was replaced with something like 2 of spades, would a bet on the flop be more reasonable?
