I'd really leave isolation attempts to LP, but that's me.
SPR is ~4.5. We have 2 overs, nut flush draw and backdoor straight draw, so should have decent equity against most hands. I might consider bombing the flop for a PSB+ so that I can get the rest in on any turn (maximizing our FE plus guaranteeing we realize our equity).
As played, I'd just ship over the check/raise, especially against a laggy player who may be tilting.
I can get behind a turn check back as his check now looks tarpy.
I think I just take my showdown value on the river as all the draws busted. Also not really sure what we're repping other than AQss.

Dude what? No one cares that you limp preflop and no one cares if you don’t like to stack off one pair. It’s almost like you post this as a meme lol.
Bombing the flop isn’t a good idea either. Why do we want to keep the pot small when we have a good hand, but bloat it up when we have a draw? That’s backwards. We could also realize our equity via checking. Or betting small on flop.
But at least you make sense as played. Agreed we have to pile flop, and agreed that we have showdown value as played and don’t need to go spewing off.
