- But there's a flush draw out there, so I basically need to raise or fold.

This is a tough hand to play out of position. I don't have all the answers, but I will say that your reasoning above is poor. After checking the flop, calling is much better than folding and raising is tough because you are creating a large pot that you will still be playing out of position on the turn.

"Charging" a flush draw is not a requirement on every suited flop. I'm not convinced our pot equity on the flop is high enough to play this hand for all our chips. The turn card will have a significant effect on our equity, why not just call at this point and see what the turn brings?
