preflop is fine, you missed your set on the flop and your flush draw is not worth chasing, just get out with bb still left to act. Caling is also fine, but I like to keep things simple and just fold.

i usually dont fold to a minbet like this, as no matter what kind of player they are its generally profitable to take a card off getting like 6:1 no mater who it is at this level, so i would call.

and if he raises behind i would fold, but more often than not id say he folds or more likely calls, which just inreases your odds to take a card off. im just against folding early for free basically, i dont actually *hate* a flop fold at all, i just would take a turn and fold to heat. all too often in spots like this where we see ridiculously cheap showdowns with incredibly marginal hands ill win a small pot with nothing for free...yeah, either way really
