Default Re: I folded TP on the flop, was it weak?
I prefer raising preflop here.

There's no reason to believe that MP3 has anything other than top pair here. A long pause preflop usually means he's getting back from the restroom. Better top pairs usually raise preflop, KQ or AQ. You have a backdoor flush draw and the J outs if you are behind, plus a reasonable chance to be ahead unless MP3 is known to be passive.

I like calling or 3-betting here depending on how passive/aggressive MP3 is. If they continue to pump the flop, then you may have to lay this down on the turn unimproved with no further clubs.

Edit: It's a small pot, so folding can't be terrible, but I still think that there is a reasonable chance you are ahead.
