how many outs are you giving yourself on the flop?
how likely is SB putting you on an isolation play?

folding flop looks reasonable.

very unlikely.

haven't played many hands at the table and haven't yet had many good cards.

the alternatives i consider are raising the flop and folding to a 3-bet with the intention of taking a free card or just plain folding the flop

Your draws are so weak, I'd bet the Turn if he just calls a flop raise
But I"m not raising the flop

I dont know what you accomplish by peeling flop. Easy fold.

I routinely isolate with A high and it seems to work o.k. as long as the people behind you aren't too crazy or likely to cold-call. Your relative position is good because you can face the other players with two cold, making them less likely to play a dominating ace, or just play at all, getting you HU with a loose limper.

I'd muck the flop though. I doubt we have enough outs to continue, especially since we'd be folding the turn UI most of the time.

I don't really like raising either.

I think i fold this preflop most of the time, but I fold the flop here.
