I am a bit confused with this hand as I felt my stack to pot ratio was very weird, especially on the turn as I have a bit more than a pot bet left meaning I can't really call and put half of my stack on the turn and fold river if I don't hit my flush.
IMO I did not play the hand aggressively enough with 31bb and should have maybe check raise the flop (close to 50%/50% against villain A) or donk bet the turn all in with many outs? On the river I should have folded but as there was already so much in the middle I felt committed. It's a mistake as I even block flushes he could have and I knew he was very A heavy.

I would appreciate some feedback if you would have played this hand differently?

In a nutshell, post flop as played I'm not sure the result is going to change if we choose a different line. It's all going in at some point. Pre flop, I would actually 3bet to around 1600 and look to squeeze out MP. We have a perfect hand to do this with considering the A blocker and our hand can play pretty well post. If UTG 4bets big then we can find a fold. Flop is a dream, so I'm happy just to cbet and get it in.

With these eff. stacks, I'd just check-jam the flop.

I like CR the flop here as well. If you are calling preflop with this hand, you're calling it to get this flop, so get the chips in.

Do you have any reads? I'm probably going to be hit with the weak-tight stick, but I don't think mucking preflop is out of the question. You are very likely way behind at least 2 of these hands. You got as good a flop as you could have asked for and it *still* was hard to play.

Mandatory call preflop. Too good of odds and this hand has lots of nutted potential.

I dont think villian is ever folding considering TPGK plus the gutter to the straight even if his outs are slightly discounted due to the flush draw. I feel he puts you on a bare flush draw and is happy to get it in.

Hey guys, thanks for your comments. I think we can agree it's a mandatory call pre (or 3 bet but I would rather call as Villain is raising for eary/mid position and my hand actually plays quite good multiway (suited) but definitely 3 betting is an option depending on my reads on villain).

Post I also agree C/raising flop to get it in especially with my stack size. Like someone said, we can't expect a better flop. Event against villain Ax we have lots of outs and he might fold some of the times.

Do not agree at all with 3b pre. Squeezing A2s against a utg open is a recipe for disaster because big Aces will make up a good portion of his range.

With SPR around 3 I'm looking to x/shove flop.

This is a dream flop and we need to get the money in now, if we're calling flop and turn we have to fold river, but the better play would have to been to x/r the flop.
