Hero has been playing at the table for a few hours. Has a fairly tight image, just beat villain with AK a few hands earlier. Villain does raise a fair amount of hands but he also limps a lot and is a bit of a calling station post-flop. Wouldn't label him a fish but also definitely not the best player at the table.
Hero is sitting on $230, villain covers.

V limps UTG, MP limps, LJ limps, HJ limps, CO Limps, Hero opens to 15 from SB with AsTc, in hindsight I like a MUCH bigger raise size but I was getting so much credit at the table, I though 15 would be enough to get most to fold.
However, I was completely wrong, all limpets call.

Flop($85): Td7s2s
Hero Bets $65, Villain raises to $165, MP calls my bet for about $50. Folds back to me.
Hero?

I have $150 behind at this point so if I call, it's a jam. UTG most likely does not have any 2P combos taking a limp/call line but he does have 77 and 22. It's a pretty dry flop and I block the NFD so I really couldn't picture him bluffing on this flop, especially with 4 more guys behind him.

Don’t think raising here in SB is a good idea.. you flop pretty well and are in all kinds of trouble. because you’re out of position with a simply decent hand

As played, it’s tricky. but, everything’s in range. 7s, 2s, T7. If it’s not one of those hands, a definite draw. A read on villain is helpful. If he has capacity to semi-bluff, maybe it’s a call. Most 1/2 players are only gonna bet this big when they have the goods.

In the event that you’re ahead, you’re ahead by a bit. And they could have more outs than just spades. Maybe a king or queen. Maybe two overcards. I would fold and not try to steal in sb like this

Change my mind. Pot is too big. Have to call.

Pre flop raise with your hand is very bad IMO and then you compounded that by raising so little. If you are going to raise (which I don't think you should), make it like $35-$40 so you can trim the field or just win it right there.

AP, I absolutely hate leading into 6 players on this board with one pair. You should have three objectives now...(1) getting to SD as cheaply as possible, (2) folding to anyone showing significant interest who bets from EP or MP or (3) playing the hand in a way where you can CR a late position bettor to get it HU. Leading does none of these things.

Sizing of your flop bet pretty much commits you to go with the hand so I hope you got lucky and either outdrew or found someone who spewed worse than you did on this hand.

Sorry if the comments seem harsh. I just don't like/don't agree with anything you did on this one.

As you know, pre is too small, and I wouldn't bother with this hand. If I was trying to use my image, I'd raise with suited connectors or something (and still bigger).

Don't like the flop lead, but as played, just shove.
