Top pair and flush draw

Playing 1/3 im in co v is on button
One limp infront of me i raise to 20 with Ad3d
V calls on the button limper calls we’re $350 effective
Flop Ah9d8d limper checks Hero bets $30 V raises $75 limper folds I call
Pot $210
Turn Jh
Hero checks v bets $135 hero shoves v calls river blank v shows ajo
Feel like i played this like a complete idiot. reason behind shoving turn was because i felt villain was capable of playing a smaller fd/sd aggresively and felt i should commit those hands on the turn. Should i consider just folding turn? Just call? Dont feel good about how i played this at all.

I would shove the flop.


Pre: Fine.

Post: +1 to shove flop. Hard to construct a villain hand range where you don't have really good equity even if it is not over 50%, and add in some fold equity even though it's likely not a lot, and it seems an easy shove.


Grunch:

PRE - from late position I think it's fine to over-limp some low or middling suited aces.

I don't necessarily hate the raise, because we may get BTN to fold and we end up last to act post. But limpers generally over-defend, so I don't expect us to have a ton of fold equity pre.

FLOP - think we should be using a smaller c-bet size here, like 1/3 pot, not 1/2 pot, but that's quibbling, and if we know our opponents are sticky, I don't mind going bigger.

Not folding this hand to a 2.5x raise. If we know V is capable of being OOL, I might think about 3B'ing, which at this stack depth would probably be a jam. But calling seems standard.

TURN - check shove is no bueno. We're just folding out worse and getting snapped by better. There's no fold equity at this SPR.

Just check-fold when he bets more than half pot. It sucks, but at this stack depth it's all we can do.

Check jam is better than check call, though.
