Think I played real bad here, simply because I couldn't assess where I was quickly enough to be decisive.

Preflop his coldcall suggests a range of 22+, A8+, KT+,QJ+, suited connectors so I am confident. But after the flop, I got lost/scared because I didn't anticipate a raise. My thought process collapsed and I couldn't tell where I was in the hand.

Where could I have improved here?

Hey Nastypasty,

Preflop is fine.

Generally speaking we can play pretty tight vs most flop-raises at this limit. Nothing wrong with a flop fold to raise here without reads.

Assuming we call flop (which is not terrible or anything) folding to turn barrel is usually good at these limits.

Some villains will raise flop to 'see where they are' with any hit i.e. 2nd pair or tpnk so calling flop raise may be fine. But they almost always give up when called and go for cheap showdown, so folding to turn aggression makes sense. Although you can't go too wrong in NL2 by nitting up and folding anything worse than top 2pair to a raise on any street
