Is this a fold to the two shoves? Or, do you consider calling since it is a draw heavy board?

NL Holdem $0.25(BB)
SB ($25.31)
BB ($20.72)
HERO ($20.48)
MP ($17.68)
MP ($24.45)
HJ ($8.32)
CO ($14)
BTN ($17.98)

Dealt to Hero A

It's a weird hand, but if you think about it, MP's most likely hand is 66 here. He shouldn't be playing that many suited connectors by flatting pre, A5 and A6 shouldnt be in his range that often and you'd expect him to raise AA.

CO is pretty short stacked so most likely he is on the draw or calling off any ace here.

This is a really rough one, but I think it's a fold. Even though you can hit an Ace to beat out 55 and 66 from MP, there's a chance CO has an Ace. MP is almost never jamming a worse hand than yours.

This is a fold pre-flop for me, and if not, I'm definitely c-betting. As played, it's such a strange line from MP that I think CO's range is likely stronger. Given stack sizes, I think I call it off but I'm not loving it.

Definitely betting the flop.

You probably have around 30% equity giving both villains Axs+, 54s+, 66, 55, AK and you need around 33%. Calling, especially if I think they could be playing wider or fun player (AQ, AJ etc). If they both nits/tight, folding
