Personally, I like to lead this flop, but I'm pretty aggro anymore.

As it is played out here, I think I just call for now.

Call. Keep then around for when you hit.

Yes. Call, hope to hit and then try for dead equity in the pot by c/r turn.

You only have an OESD and the flop brings a flush draw, don't get too commited with this hand, because two of your outs could already be dead to a flush.

Call, you have no hand right now. Even after the river you might not have a hand. Also as Skribbles points out, 2 of your out cards could better someone to a flush. Stick around and see how that last card affects you.

I just call because you're out of position and it's very likely you'll get at least a call.

on this hand, the pot was a decent size, i dont want to add it, but i ended up just pushing after everyone bet/called. no callers, so i took it down right there.
