I dunno, the more i think about it the more i like a flop fold. You're ace is rarely any good here so basically you're on the FD.

If you weren't going to fold the flop I like the way you played it, you get the most value from another FD.

yeah he's on the flush draw but he's also 1 in 3 on that draw and 2 others are in the pot.

seems standard to me.

fwiw, I don't think he's drawing after that preflop action. Also my Ace out should be good usually.

Also, is my preflop call profitable here?

preflop is prolly a fold.

basically looking to hit just two pair or flush draw.

why not push the flop? how much credit you give knuts mini iso raise?

This is about the same as pushing (I'm committing myself), it's just a way to look stronger or to let him make a mistake with calculating odds etc.

I'm a nit and I would fold pre. shipitfools has a solid range and knuts probably has a small to mid pp or drawing type hand. The action on the flop just seems like you are toast. I fold on the flop.
