Smashes calling range much harder than the raising range. Might call 1 street with pair draw and backdoor hearts especially in position, but I'm not loving it if K rolls off and villain still bets into us.

Since villain doesn't really bluff to showdown, can probably fold most turns when bet to. Flop is close, would probably sometimes call and sometimes fold, calling AK in d,h and s, folding everything else.

This is a bad bet from villain imo, usually them just trying to find out if you have an overpair and trying to steal the pot from overcards like you have. I will usually rep the overpair when I have the back door draw, raise/fold to 85$ and expect to take it down. If they do jam I think you can stack them in the future when you do have TT+ or whatever. If they call I shove the turn on any heart, A, K, or Q..

Just let it go. We are already seen as aggressive so raising seem precarious. We can choose another time to rep an over pair. Plus most over pairs call in the first place.

Peeling would be better than raising here. We have a lot of potential good turn cards (6 to TPTK and 10 to a nut flush draw). We can make moves on the turn where it would be more believable

Fold. You don't have any pairs and you aren't closing the action.

Flatting is also reasonable, with the idea of repping an overpair later. I don't like raising because it doesn't seem necessary and it's not what I do with overpairs here.

Much bigger pre....somewhere between $23-$32....depending on how they respond to getting punished.

Yeah missed that, bigger pre. My normal raise is 5BB + 1BB per limper, that would be $22 here. I'd probably go for 25 here.
