easy fold. Your only outs on this flop are certainly not clean. Even if you hit a black ace on the turn, any heart will crush your hand on the river. I would just go ahead and fold.

hi
welcome!

i'd call the flop and fold the turn unimproved (non heart improvement). this would be based on getting 1:10 on your 4 outs (discounting the heart A/J), but mostly on the fact that raising preflop and folding for one bet on the flop encourages people to take shots at you.

If folding the flop is bad, it's not bad bby much. Better opportunities will come to make a stand.
