1) Good initial call PF? Or raise to try to buy the button? I figured my hand was best multiway, and that I'd have to muck if I raised and it got reraised behind me.

2) Good 2nd call PF with a good multiway hand and good relative position vs. the raiser (how much does this matter)? For sure I muck it if BB and UTG hadn't already called the raise.

3) Raise, call, or fold on flop? I figured I'd happy to get all-in 3-ways, but I didn't want to be all-in heads up as a probable dog, so I didn't raise. And it seemed too strong of a draw to fold, especially with the possibilty of overcalls or raises behind me, which I figured would be great. So I called, looking for a spade or a low card on the turn.

4) Turn is a fairly easy fold, right?

This is a fairly easy preflop fold to the button raise.

I'd have raised this to $3 preflop then folded if the button re-raised.

Your flop and turn play are fine.

Good luck.
