Hello. What do you think about the way I played this hand? I put him on any A, Q, J really. Is there anything I could have done differently? Villain stats

Why are you leading this particular flop? Given the board texture is much better for your opponents range compared to yours donkbetting flop doesnt seem like a very good play to me.

At these stakes i prefer x/r flop cause i wouldnt expect people to ever fold an Ace here. As played I think you have to follow through and just triple here for value. As mentioned previously, doubt they are ever folding top pair.

Indeed my lead was pretty stupid. I guess i was trying to protect myself from some straight drawish hands which shouldn't be big part of his range :/

Call pre is fine, but you could also jam it.

Yes c/r flop and pile the rest in on the turn. It's not so much his range is stronger, it's just it's more polarised than yours. He has more Ax, as well as plenty of random junk people open on the button like 85s. You have underpairs and Qs and Js - maybe some TPWK with AXs. So normally it's for him to valuebet/bluff and you to bluff catch so you check to him. As you have 2 pair you c/r rather than the c/call he expected. This all depends a lot on how he's being playing this final table, but his stats suggest he's going to open a ton of buttons when folded to.

I'm assuming you went bust here if you posted it but that's just variance I would stack off if I flopped 2 pair with an SPR of 4-5 every time.
