How To Play Big Hands In This Spot?

It was a good play, just no luck ♦

This is just a cooler I think. I would only give up the flop if villain is really tight.

yea stuff happens, he Sb call he could have any PP, from 10's-2's depend on rec, villain. When he c/r you are correct that he could have 2pr fd, or TPGK.

you do hold the As so you have a blocker on the A high flush, but I also have seen people go bat shat crazy with any 2 spades.

Think this is fine just UL and variance had her way with you, he hit a 2 outter.

Would no one just call the 2bet OTF?
If we 3bet, Villain might fold hands that we could otherwise get more value from, but he will continue with a range that potentially crushes us.
With the A:S we have a redraw, so I would just call the 2bet, and then call down turn and river depending on runouts.
Also, I would bet a bit bigger OTF. Since the board favors the SB calling range, we should bet selectively with a polarized range. I'd say around 66%-75% pot.

Thank you all for your analysis.

I think the calldown is also a reasonable line because we keep his bluffs in.

But what about if the flush draw or most evident straight draw completes?

Can we fold those spots or we keep with the calldown?

I agree with monteCarlol, to call the flop. Then the turn card in combination with aggressiveness of the villain will tell you what to do.

For example with the hand above: you call the flop; turn card is revealed 7d; if villain checks, we check (no value bet or fold equity can be achieved here); if villain bets, some good old odds/implied odds calculation comes into play to decide if we should call or not. I would usually put a line like that the closest to pocket tens, therefore having only a two-outer here... I don't see any raising happening from our side anymore

And yes, if the turn would make the board straight or flushy, I would start hovering the fold button ♦

against a recreational this might be fine, but against a typical micro reg you're torching a lot of money.
not only they don't have enough bluffs, they also don't have thin value raises with one-pair, and your 3-bet allows them to fold the occasional airball. best case scenario is something such as getting it in against 9:s 8:s, which still probably has about 50% equity.

you also have position (which should make you inclined to call more, instead of ending the hand and throwing your positional advantage), call and see what happens.
this is a runout that i'd call down most of the time, at least you've kept his range wide.

Yes, no point in isolating against better hands and let him throw away his bluffs.
