Found myself a little confused here. If I have air or a set I'm C/Raising here, but wasn't sure what is the best plan with 2nd pair type hand. Since a call from me here would imply a weak hand allowing my opponent to take this away from me on the turn I thought about either raising and turning this into a bluff, or folding because there's such a good chance of me facing a turn bet - even though calling seems like the most standard move.

This is pretty player dependant but fwiw I wouldn't always call preflop, there is definitely nothing wrong with folding and it might be better tbh.

I'd fold this flop I think, unless this player makes this large flop bet all the time. I don't think raising is good but it probably isn't that bad in a vacuum, I think fold &gt; call &gt; raise though as a default here.
