Big blind woes
Should I just muck on the flop here? I am worried my kicker is no good.. Just sat down at the table, so no reads.

I love it. It sets you up to be able to open steal on the turn against MP2 later on after smooth calling a flop continuation. Even when you don't steal he may respect you enough to give you cheap cards when you're drawing if he wiffed. It's valuable what you did here.

turn bet is a little weak and may get raised by some aggressive players (like myself), but thats pretty much how i go about playing that hand.
