Villain is 49/11/3 over 51 hands


I'm having some trouble handling these situations when villain leads into me in a heads-up pot after I raised preflop.

If I don't flop anything, I usually raise unless villain is someone I'm sure would lead with a set. I've had mixed success with that line so far.

Here, I would like to play a small or medium pot so I don't like raising the flop lead, but I'm not sure I like calling all the way with my hand either.

Any thoughts on this particular hand, and insight into these types of situations is welcome.
