Just fold pre?

As played, raising the flop turns your top pair into a bluff. I'd just call and peel off a card.

Against the semi bluff???

Only reason i called pre was this line flop

Folding pre to a 5% 3 bettor, maybe defending here if I was stealing on the button.

As played on flop, I'd rather take this line if I had a pair and a flush draw when I hold middle or bottom pair. When you hold top pair it is kind of senseless to turn your hand into a bluff because you are only making villain fold out his weaker hands and nothing that beats you is folding. With that said you do have about 45% equity vs a range of AK, AA, KK. So getting it in is not terrible but I'd rather call and keep his QQ and bluffs in. I'd rather call and see a turn card in position though because when you hit it should be easy to get the money in.

Alright but say I play it passive. A blank then what? I give up? makes me feel sick. I'd rather fight!

Then you call a bet because you may have the best hand and you still have good equity?
