After the raise and the call I wanted to fold the flop. The player who flat called the raise doesn't suck. What the hell is he ever calling with there besides the nut flush draw?

Anti,

First of all,
You give too much credit to the other players.
I wouldnt count on .25/5 PLers to be allways rational in their game-play.

But lets assume they both are.
At this level of blinds a rational player won't limp in with a suited A2 unless he is counting on agression from other players.
This would make me think player 2 had rags which tripped on flop.
Player 1 on the other hands appears to have some+some i.e. some low and some flush draw - a week combination reserved for short-handed games.

I would think your flush draw is strong enough, add to that your straight draw and nut-low draw and you have a surprising, easy Fold

Lets count outs:
you have 20.4% to scoop
and 29.5% to split

But. and this is a big but, Player 2 takes 4 cards out of the equation, most of which are reduced from your outs.

It doesn't look so good....
