Accidentally called PFR...should I continue on the flop?

New to the table, so not much in the way of reads. I was planning to complete PF if it was only 1/2 when it got to me, then accidentally called when my attention was diverted by the Masters.

Preflop: Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls, UTG+1 raises, 2 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, 2 folds, Hero calls, BB calls, UTG calls.

Flop: (12 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (6 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 bets, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, Hero ?

Should I continue? I've got 4 clean outs to a nut straight that I figure nobody else is playing plus a BDFD, so I'm giving myself 5-plus outs. Any disagreement?

Pretty easy call.

After the hand, one of the table's schoolmasters yelled at me for the next 3 hands for calling to an inside straight. I admitted that calling the flop was an accident, and told him, "I figured once I was in I might as well see it home." I think he nearly had a heart-attack, and I'm pretty sure I could actually feel him spitting at his monitor.

13:1 with a gutshot and a backdoor flush draw. Definitely a call.

PF notwithstanding, nice hand. Your table coach was wrong; you clearly had the odds to call. Take advantage of your pretty solid weak-tight read on your opponent. You learned more about his play in this one hand than you could in 100 if he never chirped up.

Do not compound one error with another. Easy call.

Whenever somebody gets pissed off at me for playing a certain hand the way I did, I like to tell them that it's my lucky hand, and that I always have to see the river with it, because you just never know.

I may be a little looser than the average poster but I have no problems with the preflop call.

I was kind of thinking this too but was too much of a pussy to be the first one to say it, figuring that I am just too loose. But now that you have said it, I think that I might make this call a lot of the time.
