After reviewing my session I was not very happy with the way that I played this hand so please be critical.

PRE: pretty standard.

OTF: I'm not sure what I was thinking during the actual hand, but afterwards I'm not the biggest fan of this raise. This flop hits our range harder obviously, but the raise doesn't accomplish anything. He is continuing with AA,KK,QQ JJ, TT spades, AJ anyways. Just folding out any other random hands that we beat. I think I was trying to rep 88,99 maybe QTs that was scared of clubs . I usually try to raise with some equity so that definitely factored into my decision. Overall, I think that there are too many combos that he continues with so raising on such a wet board with just a gut shot isn't great.

OTT: I think we have to bet, I guess critique my size.

I actually think it's pretty close to a fold preflop, depending on the player. If you're up against someone who is bluff 3-betting a lot in this spot then a call is fine, but against a more TAG opponent I think should be a fold. You're going to be dominated a lot by the SB's 3-betting range and you have pretty bad implied odds when you do hit a hand like an A or a Q. AQo also has a lot less playability post-flop and equity than a hand like AQs/AJs/ATs or A5s, or QJs/JTs/T9s all of which I would always call with in this spot.

On the flop you basically already said everything I was going to say in your post. I think a hand like AsQx or TT would make better raises here.

AP on the turn I think you have to jam with less then a pot sized bet left. When you bet half pot here you leave yourself with less than a 1/4 pot sized bet left on the river which means you're basically committed to the hand anyways.

What hands do you think villain would flat a 3bet with and donk on this flop? Most of their range otf should be hands that can call a raise leaving you with ace high oop ott in a massive pot most of the time. Seems like a -ev line that worked on this occasion because you ran into the right part of villain's range and hit ott.

Many cards can hit the turn that you wont like. Any spade,7,Q, K. Even if 10 comes it's not the nuts (10spades worse again) and if you hit an off suit ace he can have AK very often. Calling the cbet isn't terrible and if he bet the turn I would call again. I don't know the history between you but I don't think folding on the flop is out of the question.
