I have just switched from Limit to No-Limit and have questions about this hand. Button (LAG) open raises and small blind folds. Do you call with this hand? If not, what is the minimum suited hand to call with? With a minimum calling hand, how would you play post flop? What are the maximum raises you would call? Would you raise the flush draw out of position? Any other help appreciated.

This is a fold preflop. This isn't limit poker.

Being out of position with a piece of [censored] draw hand in raised pots puts you at a disadvantage. Disadvantages in NL poker means you lose big stacks. Don't call out of position with drawing hands. Fold them preflop. They aren't worth playing if you are learning NL right now. Play drawing hands IN POSITION so you don't make as much mistakes.

Hero folds preflop. Hero folds flop. DO NOT CHECK CALL A DRAW OUT OF POSITION. I see that crap from a mile away and laugh and continue to bet the turn really hard to make guys who love their draws pay dearly.

Either check raise that flop and get it allin on the flop for fold equity, or fold that flop.

This is what people are talking about when they berate players for chasing, you need to put in a raise to have some fold equity, the only way your winning is if you get lucky. By raising, you give yourself another chance to win the pot.
