Hero ??
I need >16.71% equity for call to be profitable
I'm assuming A♣5♣ is folding flop, and I am blocking A♥5♥
Villain 2 is repping JJ, 44, 33, A5
What should I do?
I have redraw to the wheel but I am also blocking a lot of nut fds which I want villains to have
Spoiler
I jam, Villain 1 calls
Villain 1 shows A♠5♠
Villain 2 shows 5♥5♦

I don't get your flop and turn action. If I see this correctly you're
a) betting 50BB into 23.5BB pot on the flop. Why such a large size? You're essentially turning your hand into a bluff because only hands that beat you (33,44, JJ, 34s...or have very good equity like 5h6h will call) while high flush draws like KhQh might just jam...and then what? Since you threebet pre possibly even AJo, KJo or QJo might fold here and you don't want that.
b) by betting so large you have essentially comitted yourself so IF you want to bet this turn why not just shove?
...and why do you want to bet this turn at all? When, given the flop action a set or 2 pair is a really strong possibility - particularly from V1 calling your huge flop bet with V2 still to act? Both villains have already signalled that they are comitted and turning your aces into a bluff achieves nothing since you essentially did that already on the flop and it didn't work then, either.
But given the action is what it is this is a clear fold for me. There is no way in hell you are ahead and a 5 to the wheel may not even be a clean out...because someone could also be holding 56s which reduces you to one clean out with the 5h
If you raise 7bb pre, bet 50bb flop and 50bb turn, you now want advice on what do do with your last 7bbs?
I am assuming that "b50" means 50% of the pot and not 50 BBs.
Not going to comment on what could have been done differently since I don't play $100s, but these opponents are playing worse than most drunks in a Friday night $1. The best advice is just to keep playing on whatever site this is and ramp up your volume.
b50 obviously means betting half pot, always has.
As far as how to play this, its bit of a freestyle spot with the guy cold flatting there. But generally with a cold flat right behind you, you will want to be checking that flop very often. Range check might not be completely out of the question. If you do bet, it will be something like 25 %. If you check, the cold flatter should be doing bunch of small bets himself, like 20-25 % of pot.
Never seen it written that way. They only hint that this guy has experience is the 16% to call. Otherwise, no pot sizes, no effective stack size, no use of %.
