Raise more pf, bet more on the flop, otherwise I play it the same. Someone please let me know if there's a better line.

I think there's a case for folding to the flop raise, especially if you bet a little more. Villain has 1) two pair+, 2) a straight draw, or 3) a worse pair. Many better players don't have lots of worse pairs as a big part of their range, and worse players are usually going to be more passive with (3). If you c/f turn, you lose whenever Villain has (1), whenever the straight hits if Villain has (2), and whenever Villain bets again with either (2) or (3). Even if Villain takes the free card on the turn with (2), he has a fair bit of equity against you on the flop.

I probably play it the same in the heat of the moment, but I think this might be a situation where you have to fold the possible best hand due to positional weakness.

If we call the $5.8 what is our plan on the turn? If it is to check-fold to any decent bet then this is a spew as we should just fold the flop.

What would you have done without another Q or a complete blank on the turn? I'm really not a fan of calling large bets to check-fold the next round.

I'd fold to the flop raise.
