I'm raising flop with the intention of getting it in. His raise size indicates he probably isn't going to give up very easily, and with the draws on the board he is more than likely going to be willing to stick in heaps more with a weaker hand. Raising flop eliminates the need to make gay turn decisions when a 6, 10, or spade falls also.

flop is kinda meh. shove feels a little big but flatting kinda sucks here oop. I guess I kinda like flatting if you think villain plays bad and will bet too many draws on the turn (or will never bet draws, but I think the former should be more likely since if villain won't ever bet draws on the turn there's a pretty good chance they wouldn't raise draws on the flop, in which case the flop is a fold unless villain is spaz raising things like JJ).

I like c/shove on the turn. If you can profitably flat the flop then I don't think you can fold here as the 6 doesn't improve all that many hands.

Flatting flop to shove this turn seems good. Folding on the flop can't be all the bad either with us having the A of spades.

I probably bet a touch more on this flop...if he has a draw he will pay more and if he wants to float make him pay for it.

I am ok with the flat on the flop

and yeah...c/ shove the turn
