I feel like pre-flop was badly misplayed. I either should've raised as a steal with a marginal holding or folded. I don't think going to $60 pre is terrible if deep enough but I think flatting is even given the price of 3.5:1 because it invited UTG to call and we'll be taking a flop likely 4-ways with a hand that usually flops marginal wraps/flush draws/top and bottom. It creates a tough spot. If the ace were suited I would be much more excited about playing this hand but I think I should've folded pre in both spots (more so in the second because of less maneuverability as a result of stack depth.)
We see one of the best possible flops for our hand imo. I decided to check, which I think is a good decision. I think I'm going to be checking my whole range in this spot to protect my checking range. After I check I think I will be check-raising my KKxx, 44xx, and most of my strong wraps. I will be check-calling with hands like OESD + BDFD, top pairs that can turn equity, 33xx, and all of my two-pair combos. If the short stack moves in I think I will call it off with almost all of my top pairs because I will be priced in and I think he will be mainly weighted towards AAxx (although this does give the player behind me that I am deep with an excellent check-raising opportunity, so maybe this is incorrect?) I decided to raise with the nut wrap, which I think is a good play considering the spot I am in because I think I will do the same with all of my 44xx and KKxx so I will be fairly balanced in this spot.
Notes on Villain: Villain has been incredibly passive throughout the entire session and has check/called without a hand and seldom leads out without one.
Notes on BTN: In a one hour session this is only the 2nd time I have ever seen the button raise pre-flop.
Notes on SB: Seemed to be solid.
Preflop: vomit
Flop: I'm actually not in love w/ gii on the flop according to read. It seems like we're just putting ourselves in a 60/40 spot bad a ton. I'd just call and donk shove any hit (in which we have 13 outs). We don't really have any FE, so we might as well see a turn and decide whether we want to put the rest in and gamble.
