Naked Nut flush draw on a straight flop
10 handed plo 4 .
Juicy game , with some whales and bad shortstackets . 10 handed .
Utg( whale )raises to 50 I'm utg +1 with a678 ds with a tight image raise to 200 .
Sb another whale calls and utg calls.
Stacks -
Sb 2000
Utg 3500
Me 2000
Flop 10jq with 2 hearts , I have the a6 of hearts .
Sb leads for 500 , utg calls .
Thoughts ?
I ended up calling , figured out not much fold equity with this pot and Stacks sizes already.
Turn 7 rainbow
, sb checks, utg thinks for a moment and shoves.
While I'm thinking , sb stares at me , looks like he is wanting me to fold.
I think if he calls I'm getting my pot odds here , but looks like he might have a flush draw as well with the way he played this hand.
How would you play this hand ?

Make it easier on your audience (and therefore more likely to get interaction) by putting in pot sizes at every street.
First instinct was that flop was an easy call but I'm reconsidering whether you're supposed to jam it in. They'll both be getting better than 2-1 so they're both very likely to call and you should be a money favourite 3 ways. The question is whether the EV you get from that is better than calling and then calling it off on every turn, or perhaps you can find some folds on board pairs.
Combinatorically the fact you have an A in your hand makes it significantly less likely you're up against two lots of AK, which means you're probably up against AK and a set. Which lends me towards flatting flop and then folding board pairs.
As played turn seems like a profitable call if and only if we can close to guarantee sb calling behind us. Which may itself be an argument for jamming the flop. I think I fold turn.
I can go either way on the flop -- call or shove, but now that I missed the turn, I let it go, especially if you put SB on hearts.
Pre-flop raise is spew.
agree with all that was said before, but especially that your preflop 3bet is crap.
why do that? your hand is nice, sure, perfect to call with.
but what if you get a 4bet? likelihood is high, you have like 7 guys still acting behind you, plus the utg guy who opened. you'll have to fold correctly, so wasted 200$
Thanks guys , got it .
Was trying to mix it up as I played very tight this night.
Players ended up putting it in on the turn with qqt4 - utg
And 3579 with the flush draw .

understand your thinking, but the logic is wrong:
players are bad/loose, so i wanna play more hands against them? -> no.
bc you rarely have fold equity, getting called way too wide, which means you shouldn't widen your range, but do the opposite, tighten up pre, and play more value hands.
Yes you should play tight against loose players.
But too tight won't give you action .
If you 3bet only aces you become pretty much clear to your opponents .
I think as long as you play a little tighter then them , that's the correct play .
You will play more pots with better range , this leads to more money generally.
btw , the solver also says we are poting in 90% of times.
I'm not confident that solve is applicable. Hero is playing 10-handed and effective stacks are less than 100 bb effective (?? exact blinds are not specified in OP).
However, there are many times where solver strategy is not applicable to real-world play. The whale is not raising a solver-approved range, or playing a solver-approved strategy on any street (nor is the rest of the table); given these parameters, Hero's raise may no longer be solver approved, and the EV is likely to be lower.

Its 5-10 , but first raise allowed is 50 .
You just canceled all the solvers work in a sentence 😀
Of course hes not playing solvers range, probably much weaker range , and weaker strategy.
