Well in my opinion the paired board makes it better for you to make the call. When i get a flush i want my opponent to make 2 pair or hey even better a triple! since the pot was limped into before the flop im pretty sure you can assume that the other guy doesnt have pocket kings (so there goes 1 FH to worry about). Of coarse he could have pocket 9's or 3's but id highly doubt it.. Im pretty sure for this situation your opponent was holding something like A 9..but then u gotta watch for a higher flush.. i dono its a tough call but i would probably make it.

Uhhh, K,9 or 9,3 in the small blind that just got there. I don't think he bets any naked 9 from the small blind out of position on that flop. Then re-raise you on the turn with a flushed and paired board without the FH. Unlikely unless on str8 steal. I probably would have just called his original bet and perhaps called the river depending on bet, stack sizes, etc. 9d looks like his gin card, makes you tye flush and him the FH..h

What would you put the SB on then? That you could beat that is. K,3? Naked 9 or K?
I don't think this is the "monsters-under-the-bed syndrome" type of situation. I could see a complete bluff, but without a read on the guy I would tend to believe the re-raise especially in a tournament.
You can second guess what the other guy has, all you want. If you are talking in general terms, I would call, no issue. if you fold your [almost] nut flush every time the board pairs, it is not winning poker. If the other player has a better flush, such is life. If he happened to hit a full house (or slow played quads), again its life.
Depends. If the table is playing passive[1] I'd steal in late position with any two. At 300/600 the blinds are definitely worth stealing. If the limpers have been limp-calling a lot, it's definitely a fold.

[1] passive - meaning the limpers will fold to a raise and the blinds won't defend without a hand

QFT, if you are going to limp and let the blinds in cheap, (9,3) wasn't that one of the hands I mentioned, then you have to be able to lay down to strong resistance. That's a leak for sure in a tournament. May as well just hand the SB the chips...
