Not many reads on villain, but he seems ok.

Questions:
- call preflop?
- call flop?
(turn is obv fine)

marginal call preflop his reraise is almost 10% of your stack.

Calling flop is kinda meh too..

Ur title says 56s?

Ya, both the preflop and flop call were on the expensive side.

I've folded this in the past, but was wondering if maybe I was being too nitty.

No, folding this is pretty standard. You could call sometimes against an opponent you've got good reads on and can outplay post-flop.

I fold the flop against an unknown. If you hit your hand you won't get paid off and you could still be behind to a full house.

this looks like a continuation bet that has decided to give up. I do not mind the call preflop you have position. I think on the turn what I would do here is check behind to see if I can get him to fire again on the river. The way you played the hand it looks as if you have a hand that is not scared of the flush and if he did get lucky enough to flop a boat you save yourself some money by checking turn. Unless you think opponent will call this turn with just a king, 10, or something like Jack's queens and aces then I would bet. I think in the long term you maximize value by checking turn and allowing him to bet on the river instead of forcing him to have a big hand to call you with on the turn.
