Any read? I raise sometimes, fold sometimes, call sometimes.. all read dependant.

dont see any other option other than folding, especially with BB calling, too.

if he is betting a flush draw you are ahead, but there are soooooo many cards that can come that cripple you. i think folding is ok, especially with bb in there.

Not if the flush draw contains two cards greater than a 4. At any rate, this is an easy fold 3-way.

well, hero is ahead but not a favorite. that's what i should have said, but i'm not very articulate. either way, ditch it.

Yep. IF you are ahead (I think not) you are going to be drawn out most of the time. You only have 2 outs, one of which completes the FD. Time to fold.

I think the BB calling makes it a clear fold.

What do you do if BB folds instead of calling? These are the kinds of fairly basic situations I still feel uncomfortable with. Readless I'll usually fold but I'd like to see what other say.

I'd fold anyways. Flush draws, OESDs and most gutshots have at least 10 outs against you. Even a flat out bluff usually has 6 outs. I think the pot's too small to hope that it's a non-made hand AND you don't get outdrawn by the river.

Re: 44 - how to deal with this flop bet
 

fold, even if you do have the best hand after the BB calls(unlikely), your equity is not particularly high.

Re: 44 - how to deal with this flop bet
 

this is more complicated if BB folds. you cannot fold regularly here or else you'll simply be runover whenever you raise preflop and low cards come. this is really read dependent, but calling down to the river is the worst thing you can do against most opponents. if you're to continue you usually want to pop in a raise either on the flop or turn. but again, against tighter / predicatable players release on the flop, and pop the LAGs .. against the crazy LAGs, fold preflop.
