a) I think I should reraise these kind of flops in the future.
b) as played, I think I definitely have to bet the turn...

What are your thoughts?

I suffer from lack of discipline, but this is a PF fold, as you'll play OOP.

As played, I don't see much of a problem playing it as you did.
If you raise turn and get called, you are basically depending on the flush, while calling OTT and check/calling small bet OTR you can have some value.

Come check my history and progress

Hello,

Folding pf will simplify your play postflop, but I don't see anything wrong with BB defending these types of hands.
You are against the tightest range (UTG) so I don't plan on bluffing too much, but rather play the draws for odds.
I would play her the same, even at A frequencies she can give you the best hand against JJ-KK.
The turn is very good because it gives value to the SD and now you beat AJ-

I think you're line is fine. I don't see a point in betting turn when you aren't the aggressor with a little bit of showdown value and flush draw as backup.
