Am I too weak for not putting in a raise on the flop? I called hoping to pick up a club on the turn.

Hands like this are tough.

Unless he is betting a flush draw, you are almost certainly drawing to two outs. Some might think this is weak-tight, but I fold this flop.

I fold the flop. He's betting into a pfr, he probably has a hand.

Can I not see a turn getting 8:1 + implied odds for my two backdoor draws and two Q outs?

personally - thoough I am no pro (see the hands I just posted) I raise the flop. If he 3bets, I cal and then fold the turn.

If he just calls and
A) bets the turn I fold.
b) checks the turn, I bet.

IF the pot isn't won by now by someone... I don't know good luck

My pointer was veeeeeery close to the raise button because of the aggressiveness factor gained from reading 2+2, trust me...but for this hand, I just didn't think he could be betting a flush draw or lower pp...could he be?

If he just called my three bet, and checked the turn, I would not be comfortable betting the turn. I figure that even if he has a weak A/K, he'll call me down.

Ya, maybe it is something I should look into for my own game is playing these own situations.

Raise or fold...screw the club...you're HU drawing to 2 outs
I turbo fold and congradulate myself for saving a bet
