    Default tough decision - am I thinking about this correctly?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG ($0.59)
    UTG+1 ($4.29)
    MP1 ($7.30)
    MP2 ($1.57)
    CO ($1.02)
    Button ($3.87)
    Hero ($2.76)
    BB ($3.92)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with A, 2.
    4 folds, CO calls $0.02, 1 fold, Hero completes, BB checks.

    Flop: ($0.06) K, 9, 3 (3 players)
    Hero bets $0.08, BB folds, CO raises to $1 (all in), Hero???

    I have 10 guaranteed outs for the nut flush, and 3 much weaker ones for the Ace. So with 10 outs, thatsa 38% chance of hitting my outs for the flush, and with 13 outs its 48% chance of hitting.
    Right now I'm getting 1.14/1 = 1.14 to 1
    so the pot is offering me $1.14 for every $1 that I put into it.
    So to break even I need...
    2.14x = 1, x = 1/2.14 = 46.7%
    Therefore, if I include my ace outs then it becomes marginally profitable to call. If I don't include my ace outs thinking he hit 2 pair or trips, then it becomes profitable to fold. I didn't have many reads on him at this point, so fold?

    Another hand with this same guy I was wondering if I played right
    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG+1 ($3.14)
    MP1 ($2.82)
    MP2 ($6.26)
    CO ($1.17)
    Button ($8.22)
    SB ($2.10)
    Hero ($3.37)
    UTG ($0.44)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with T, 2.
    UTG calls $0.02, UTG+1 calls $0.02, MP1 calls $0.02, 2 folds, Button calls $0.02, 1 fold, Hero checks.

    Flop: ($0.11) 4, 2, T (5 players)
    Hero bets $0.08, UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls $0.08, Button calls $0.08.

    Turn: ($0.35) Q (3 players)
    Hero bets $0.24, MP1 folds, Button raises to $8.12 (all in), Hero ???

    This is the same guy that put me all in on the earlier hand. He seemed to play very Lagg. From his betting, he either hit trips on the flop or has some type of QK type hand? Or maybe T Q? Should I have check raised the flop instead of opening with a bet?
