Eww, please fold the flop. Yes he bet smallish, but you don't even have a spade and are ahead of little anyways. Reads are immensely helpful in spots like this too, if he minraises like this and donks the flop a lot you may be good a lot of the time, but by no means are you ahead by far. If you're going to continue with this hand here I would raise the flop and if he calls then we're done with the hand. It turns our hand into a bluff, but just calling down gives him a cheap shot at hitting a higher pair or a flush.

Yeah, you need to find a fold in there somewhere. If you're ahead he likely has a good amount of outs, and if behind you could be drawing almost dead.

Looking over the whole hand, it just seems like you put way too much money in the pot, on a scary board against a guy who bet every street.

So at what point do I fold to his 1/3 pot sized bets? On flop?
