Pick a better spot.

As far as post flop, you are also asserting that we have no fold equity. If this is true i highly doubt we have <50% equity. The villains range could have tens, jacks, and queens, sure, but i believe he may also have 9s and king highs and ace highs, with the range weighted more heavily towards aces and kings due to the fact that he called my isolation.

look at this stove:

Hand 0: 50.865% 45.34% 05.53% 350549 42732.00 { Ad9s }
Hand 1: 49.135% 43.61% 05.53% 337177 42732.00 { 88+, A2s+, K2s+, Q2s+, J2s+, T2s+, 92s+, A2o+, K2o+, Q2o+, J2o+, T2o+, 92o+, 82o+ }

To be honest i have NO IDEA what range to assign here. I gave him any straight draw or pair and we have > than 50% equity, but is that a decent range? What would us having 50% equity mean? would you fold this hand at any point? i think our ace high might be good enough to check down even if we call and blank turn/ river. If this is true why are we even calling?

Also i read that most players big leaks are most visible in the small pots they play. This kind of hand may not get posted often, but that does not mean it is not of value, i have already learned plenty, and clearly some of the other posters on this would do well to do the same.
