hero should fold preflop. If someone raises, are you gonna call? If No, then you just lost a blind for no reason. If you yes, then you just lost 4xBB on a slim chance of flopping a flush. Because surely, your opponents will make you pay to draw to a flush.

Beyond that, you played this well, I think. You're against AK or overzealous examples of AQ or AJ a lot at this level.

I hear you pre-flop. I've been expriementing with limping suited aces in early position recently, only at tables with low PFR%'s though. Not a big enough sample size to know how it's going yet.

looks like you're up against AT or a set of 3s/Ts...or a complete nincompoop who did something like limp-overplay AK.

No pre-flop read was given. So either fold to feel out the table or play a hand to gamble it up. Losing a blind isn't a big deal.

What are you putting MP2 on? I think you're in a lot of touble against the hands he would limp and play like that. However, being only 50bb deep limits your losses here.

Should have mentioned that table stats were 4-5% PFR, even with villian's 10%. So I felt comfortable limping in EP with a drawing hand. Again, something I'm experimenting with right now.

Since villain had pretty loose stats pre-flop and aggressive stats post-flop I put him on any A, 33, or TT. I'm ahead of this range. It turned out he had AJo, but when I was reviewing my hands from this session it stuck out as a marginal call. If he isn't short-stacked I think it's a bad one.
