BTN call 1 bb
Flop (8 bb)

This turn raise puzzled me. What sensible hand could play like that? A ready-made straight? Another nine? I called just because it seemed odd and perhaps I could find something odd at showdown if it gets there...
With this MP+1, I played only 20 hands and his VPIP was around 20% (the table requires 25%+ VPIP after 40 hands).
What are your thoughts?

It was in a private club on ClubGG.
Also, am I wrong by assuming that 1:7 pot odds preflop make it an easy call?
Yes, you need to win the hand atleast 1:7 of the time and multiway just hitting Q or 9 won't be enough (most of the time)
Q9o seems weak to me OOP in multiway pot, folding this. Hands I like in such situation are suited connectors or pocket pair to setmine, OOP multiway playing passively until I flop set or some straight/flush draws.
In general you should avoid situations like this, bottom pair in big pot, there are plenty of better spots where you can make money on micro imo.
