i don't think i mind calling the flop, although i'm leaning towards a fold instead. i'm most likely folding the turn.

The $42 into a $50 pot is very concerning, especially with another $58 that is going all in on the river. I generally call flop CR, fold turn. Calling the flop CR may cost you your stack if you improve to 2 pair or trips on the turn..which may lead me to believe folding to flop CR on this dirty board is correct. Just seems so weak folding flop.

call flop is ok - u have position, oop i'd fold ...
fold the turn
