good hand for those people who don't understand why position is important - think about the lines you can take here on the button vs in the BB. If anyone asks about position when you're in IRC, link them to this hand.
Ok. Preflop is good. Flop is diffcult, you have two options = donk or check-raise. You took one of them. That is fine.
Turn betsizing is gross. Without reads we know that the flush draw is less likely than often because the flush ace is on the board. But people like to call SCS too. Also consider that UTG must quite like his hand to be calling the flop CR, and that MP is getting huge odds on any draw if UTG calls. Think about the Ax combos. AJ+ is likely to call a bigger bet. A6/A4/A8 are obviously coming along. A5/A7 are often calling TP+GSSD. Bet the turn a lot bigger, especially considering that about half the deck sucks for you on the river. And especially considering that you are unable to fold a set if a horror river card comes - your river play as proof
