Thoughts and questions:

Spoiler

I don't like being too tricky, in a mw pot, oop, but because it was a A-high board and people like limping with any A, I thought some else would be on this flop.
Was my sizing ok? I prefered not to simply call villains donk to not give everyone else good odds to call with a draw or a draw + pair, specially being at the worst possible position.

Turn: (41 BB, 2 players) T♣
Hero bets 25.3 BB, fold
Thoughts and questions:

Spoiler

Against a calling station, even oop, should I go bigger here?
My plan was to cbet 1/2 here and shove almost any river.

Spoiler

Hero wins 39 BB

I would play the hand the same way as well. Only thing could be that I would lead the flop most of the time when there isn't a pre-flop aggressor. You don't want to miss value and you want to protect your hand as well.

Hahaha. You have to see how crazy some villains are (and I'm saying that from a perspective of a very mediocre player).
People playing 70/5, 80/1, 60/40. I'd guess the most common are 30/5 players.
