I NEVER know what to do here...

I fold preflop and I don't know why it's "not an option". Your hand sucks, and you're out of position.

Bet the flop (2/3 the pot), fold to a raise. As has already been said, you have no idea where you are if you just call.

This is always a tricky spot.
A. folding pre flop would be a big mistake getting 5-1.

Betting out is probably best, you may miss out on a continuation bet when you are ahead but should save some money when you are beat. it is awkward on the turn when they call but check calling can be expensive and just as awkward. I have often checked too in these spots but usually end up regretting not betting out.

If you know theplayers are a bit passive and will not continue to bluff the turn and riv then perhaps check calling and seeing how much is bet is ok, but you risk giving free cards that way.

I don't think so. Your stack is healthy and your hand is likely dominated. Why risk chips when you can wait for a better spot. I fold.

not so fondly of a hand like this either. knowing me i would probably check/call flop and bet on turn planning to fold to a raise. but since he bitch raised preflop utg, i think a fold on the flop is fine also.

and to add.. i also fold this preflop a lot of the times.

If you just fold preflop, you save yourself a lot of trouble.

I don't think calling pf is all that horrible, as long as hero knows how to play post-flop. But if he says he NEVER knows what to do, then yes, he should be folding. Also, at the low-buyins a minraise UTG will mean they have AA-QQ about 30% of the time, maybe more.

As for post flop, I think I check fold, the flop didn't hit me as favorably as I wanted to, I'm getting out.

It's important to point out that this is very inaccurate. 3% would be a better estimate than 30%.
