Hi AZK,

Fold pre to the 175 re-raise, even with stacks around 4K. You are not going to get your money in good enough, often enough here when you flop a draw against a good player.

The only way I'm calling his raise is if I know I can often push him out on the flop, in which case I may even reraise pre-flop. On the flop you got, raise him big, for god's sake! Your post-flop play is an example of why you shouldn't call the pre-flop raise: Pre-flop, put in 245 losing EV...Flop, put in 320 with about neutral EV, relying on implied odds mostly...Turn, forced to fold. But, even if you'd hit on the turn, you'd have to deal with: not necessarily getting paid off unless he flopped a set or has AAh, since he can give you credit for many hands that beat one pair besides a flush, and with being redrawn on, and with occasionally losing to his AK/AQhh etc. You have to be stealing this pot quite a bit post-flop, or getting cheap drawing opportunities to make this work. Flawless is likely to give you neither.
