- I know +EV is fold preflop, right? I play looser on button, may be should have 3 bet there
- I should have raised the flop, now looking at it
- I timed out unfortunately - would have liked to see what he had

thanks

Preflop is fine. 3betting is also fine. I don't really like folding in that spot. Raise the flop.

I'm fine with 3betting or calling preflop. Folding is okay, but definitely missing some value if you're decent post-flop. Usually I'd 3bet somebody that's playing 23/20.

Flop I like a raise since villain will have an ace a ton, and if he doesn't he's most likely shutting down on the turn anyway.

I probably call on the river because I'd expect an ace to bet the turn and people don't usually value bet thin at this level. This makes his range pretty polarized and with Ax being unlikely I'd lean towards calling... though I guess he could've backdoored a flush.

I raise the flop bet in this spot to about 9... If he calls or shoves you got your money in ahead.... if its a call and the A hits the turn you can try to rep it and if he doesnt have it hes gone if he does he'll let you know real quick when he shoves.
