    Default 33 makes a straight ($27)

    2nd hand, no reads. Maybe the flop call was a little loose, but w/e. As played, flat call the turn bet and hope that he bluffs the river or just get 'em in now?

    On one hand I like calling. Villain has Ax super-often, so even if he won't bet river, he probably won't check-fold either
    On the other hand calling gives Adxd, A2, A4, A5, A6 a chance to draw out.
    Then again he won't have these hands very often, having raised behind a limper.
    I lean towards calling but I think it's fine either way.

    I would raise the flop, it can win you the pot right there or it may give you a free turn card, and even if you are shoved over you are not in that bad of a shape vs an overpair

    As played I would have called and let him fire again on the river

    I don't see much merit in raising the flop bet. His calling/shove range will be tipped towards hands which have an advantage over ours.

    Since he leads the turn when an aces comes out, I expect him to have at least an Ace in his hand. I think I may shove the turn here as villain should start to suspect something up when you just call after the A comes out. You also may not necessarily stack hands on the river which have a seemingly easy turn decision to call e.g. two pair type hands when the flush hits ... I don't have time for more .... gotz to run.

    Winning the pot vs 2 overcards is a better result for me then calling and facing a bet on the turn if I do not make my hand

    raise both streets, flop is close, turn is less close. If you do not plan to bluff later raise flop, if you'll bluff when you miss some I like calling better.
