BB showed K♠: A♥: and won $4.01 ($1.87 net)
Hero mucked A♦: Q♠: and lost (-$2.14 net)

Not sure if I like how I played this but I don't think a call on the flop or raise-fold on the flop was good. With his exact hand it looks bad but is this play fine against all the hands he could have here, or not?

Hand was from iPoker 2NL and the villain was playing fairly standard pre, so AK from EP makes sense.

What will you accomplish with just a callon flop?
What will you accomplish with this raise/stack off?

Answer these, please.

I suppose if I call he might continue with some bluffs on the turn??
And the raise/stack off seems to get it in with better hands only - flopped flushes, sets, TPTK etc.

I see you figured this out yourself. When he bets pot on a monotone board and if you raise him, he will only continue with flushes and sets. I was surprised to see as weak hand as TPTK, but this is NL2 :)

Ok that makes sense, thanks.

If I decided to call his pot size bet OTF and he double barrels on an offsuit card (in the e.g. Jc) what do you think the best line is at microstakes nl2, nl5 etc.? Give him credit and fold or call again / bluffcatch?

Play according to odds. You have 9 outs to hit your flush, so you have around 19% equity. That means you can call around 1/3psb bet. If villain bets any bigger you don't have direct odds to call.

I'd call flop. The implied odds are probably there because he looks angry. A missed turn would then be a straightforward direct pot-odds calculation with little implied odds if he still is angry.

I agree that we should play a non-flush turn acoording to odds. Implieds are not there cause when we hit the flush itis way too obvious and scary.
