Maybe I should have just folded this pre, given that V has a 3bet of 4, though over a small sample. At flop I get a great price to call. At turn I am not sure if it is worth calling here, even with top pair and a FD. I doubt V would do this with air, so it doesn't matter much that I have top pair, he likely has a better ace taking this line. So it is basically a FD with a pretty bad price. At river I was thinking that I had already put so much money into the pot I might as well call, but again, if I don't think he has any bluffs in his range here, it isn't really worth calling I guess.

Very easy fold pre.

Fwiw I would pretty much always 4b or fold this pre. Don't think you can profitably call here with A2s vs a nit, or a regular who 3-bets linear from SB with hands like A2s+/A10o+. Also if they are spewy regs who 3b really wide and don't fold to 4-bets, I probably let go of A2s-A3s and 4b A4s/A5s, some A6s-A7s.

113 hand sample is pretty decent enough to tell if someone is a nit or spaztard wrt 3-bets pre.

Flop and turn are standard. Your deuce might be live as well, and every once in a blue moon he might have a bluff here like KJcc.

Fold river ap.

It is not an easy fold pre. Well played only fold river.

+1.

I 4B pre with A2s here, I don't think flatting is awful though aslong as we are aggressive post. A big disadvantage of flatting this pre is that we even dominated by villains bluffs, so I prefer 4Bing.

Anyways I'm defo 4B or folding pre vs this villain and general 5NL player pool here, flatting is a leak imo.
