    Yes it is a good fold. Ur almost guaranteed to be drawing to only two outs.

    Preflop limping behind is fine, I would prefer raise.

    Flop bet is bad. Never bet minimum for whatever reason. Always bet 1/2-pot if ur gonna bet at all. This is not an optimal flop to bet at. Check/call check/fold is fine.

    Turn, it is checked to you and u bet which is horrible. With all that action on the flop and so many ppl to the turn, its almost guaranteed someone has a 9 or 8 and just boated up. Turn is definitely a check/fold.

    Wiki has a good explanation on pot odds:

    Im opedipus bitch, the original balla.
    Superman, hero didn't bet the flop. Someone else minbet and hero called, which is obviously fine because of odds. On the turn, there is no sense in betting as it is highly likely someone has 8x, or 9x and you are drawing to only your straight flush outs.
