Pacific Poker - $0.10 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 226 BB
SB: 124.2 BB
BB: 110.3 BB
UTG: 27.9 BB
MP: 75.9 BB
Hero (CO): 279.8 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has A♥:3♥:

UTG raises to 2 BB, fold, Hero calls 2 BB, fold, fold, BB calls 1 BB

Flop: (6.5 BB, 3 players) 6♥:K♥:7♣:
BB checks, UTG bets 3.2 BB, Hero calls 3.2 BB, fold

Turn: (12.9 BB, 2 players) K♦:
UTG checks, Hero ???

Upon checking later, it turns out A3s is not in my theoretical calling range vs UTG normal open, but vs a min-bet I figured I could see a flop with position on the open raiser.
Certainly two weak to 3Bet though.

OTF I thought a call with the nut-flush draw was OK

From there?

I would bet you want to attack checks quite aggressively in spots like this when you have a good chunk of equity if called but also a good chunk of fold equity you want to capitalize on.Also preflop i would 3bet my suited wheel Aces or fold but mostly 3betting them ip.Maybe calling is ok vs a 2x open ill wait to see what others think of the call im not 100% sure ,personally id still rather 3bet this combo vs a 2x open.

Against a unknown a 3bet in position isn't to bad with the ace blocker and hand with decent flush potential.
Only issiue is that he has only a 27,9bb starting stack. If you 3bet like 6bb he gets the change to 4bet shove on you.
If you call in position the implied odds aren't to great against a short stack.

As played I would most likely shove the flop with in mind he has only 22,7bb more behind.
If you make a normal raise you are committed anyway.

Turn you can check behind or try to win the hand. I would most likely check.
It will be tough to get to many better hands to fold and I don't expect you get much value ether.
Another problem is that you need to fold if he shoves on you.

Preflop, I think I would normally 3bet but with the stack size a call is probably fine.

OTF, don't think we need to raise here, calling is fine, we are getting roughly 3:1 and we have 4:1 with the flush draw. Only need to win an additional 4BB or so on average. Population is folding too much to turn float bets, so I would usually float bet here roughly 60% pot with all my air and draws, unless we have a read that villain is defending turn checks well. I would maybe check back weaker flushdraws, although with the stack size, we can still get it in OTR if we hit quite easily with nut flush, so could check back. But in general I float bet aggressively here, it's an auto profit spot. I would also bet smaller here with pocket pairs and any 5x or 6x. Kx, bet big and shove river. If we get raised after float betting then we won't have the odds to call, but hey ho. If villain calls. I would most probably check a blank river, could possibly beat some weaker busted flush or straight draws

Good point -- I keep forgetting to take stack size into account.

Could I even shove pre, considering his stack represents <10% of mine?

I missed that so i now think it becomes a fold pre.
