Would AK be in Villain's range? AQ definitely would, right?

On the other end of the spectrum: could Villain be using the flush and the A as a scare situation for you, i.e. nice bluff opportunity?

I missed this thread so I'm going to start at the top and grunch my way down.

Perfect. Hate OOP, but you should be good enouguh to stay out of CO's way and outplay agro-moran, so I like this spot.

Pot.

Thinking:
Bingo! My goal is to get out of CO's way because if he wants stack in its super likely he was setmining and spiked. On the other hand, my goal is now to get it in against EP. Maybe this is just me running bad (I swear villains spike their 5 outer on me at 80% of turn and river), but I want to get as much money in as soon as possible. I am NOT interested in big bets on turn or river, where if they are going in its much much less liekly I'm good. I want as much money in this pot ASAP, and if I get the fold that's fine with me - just means there isn't much value to be had here.

c/r isn't terrible, but I prefer b3b, folding to a raise from CO.

That's the worst card in the deck. I check and fold. Seriously.

Alternative is bet ~$8 as there is still some value from him calling, but imo if he bets or raises your hand is not good 75%+, and there's no way to improve really.

Fold. Seriously, I think the majority of his range is aces-up and flushes.

Ready to be berated for being a weak-tight nit! Seriously, I was ready to go nucking futs on the flop. But don't let how good your hand was earlier trick you into thinking its good now. I'm done.

$0.02

A

would be in the Top5 worst cards in the deck for us.

Our relative hand strength collapses here.
Now we are relying on dead money for compensation.

Clearly OP has reads on villian that inclines him to continue with hand.

To have a good feel with how to proceed - I would actually like to have seen the proceeding 30-50 hands.
I would like to get a feel for how bad and how floatey villians tendencies were.

I would go back to the flop also.

My inclination is to lead into the field if I felt that regular raises draws. I would like db/3bet line to reduce his perceived fe.....and transform his holdings into passive dead money from potentially aggro dead money. As his made hand value range that beats us is very narrow.

Who's the guy sitting 400bb deep? He must be a balla.
