Weird spot on the flop in plo
I havent been at the table too long, maybe 20 hands, but my opponent seems relatively solid; he's seen about 30% of flops and raised 10%, so not just aaxx.
I think this is a pretty easy raise if I have 40bb in cash or a tourney situation but made much tougher by us both having 100b.

nsinger ????????
I actually folded here but i think that may be a mistake. My reasoning is that raising here likely gets me three bet by a set/straight and then I have to fold and just flatting pretty much turns my hand faceup as an overpair w/ flush draw, resulting in me not getting paid even if I do hit. Also a huge consideration here is not having the nut flush draw.
All that said, if I fold here all the time that pretty much means people can fire pot at me on the flop oop every time I raise and I'll be folding enough for it to be profitable for them to fire every flop. I don't want to be easily exploitable.
So what's the best line? Fold, raise, or flat and re-evaluate turn?
