Slowplaying aces - yet another "how not to" guide
OK, limp/min-reraise is just screams aces, and if for whatever reason he had AK clubs he bets the flop. So I'm x/f the flop. On the turn, however my flush is just about always going to be good. Really this sort of play is just so ridiculously bad, and yet so many people do it at the micros.

why would you ever plan on folding the flop?

Yeah I didn't phrase that right. I'm x/f the flop unimproved. Not folding *this* flop.

This is a very loose iso for a 5x considering his stacksize, did you have some postflop read that he is check folding a lot?

Yeah he was limp/folding pre a lot and check/folding the flop a lot too. I wouldn't normally iso with any sort of pretty hand - I usually just go with 77+ or two cards ten or better as a default "value iso" range.
