Hi, I'm new here, currently playing low-micro stakes but I'm putting the effort to improve and move up to midstakes. I'll be posting some hands where I'd like some advice please, and I thank you in advance!

Villain has just been moved to the table. It is the 2+R 500 cap, some 90 players left, 54 make the money.

wilnot23 (MP2): BB = 24.8, t24807
2ss2ss (CO): BB = 17.1, t17072
Timeinabotl (BTN): BB = 12.6, t12630
Hero (SB): BB = 46.1, t46068
uiCk (BB): BB = 23.6, t23635

marconelson (UTG+1): BB = 11.6, t11554
pansyg (MP1): BB = 34.6, t34560

Pre Flop: (t2500) Hero is SB with 5 of diamonds A of clubs
2 folds, pansyg calls t1000, wilnot23 calls t1000, 2 folds, Hero calls t500, uiCk checks

Flop: (t5000) 2 of hearts A of diamonds 5 of clubs (4 players)
Hero bets t2000, uiCk folds, pansyg raises to t4000, wilnot23 folds, Hero calls t2000

Turn: (t13000) T of hearts (2 players)
Hero checks, pansyg bets t29435 all in

What are your thoughts on the flop bet and call? Should I have led and then 3bet? Folding on the flop seems out of the question…

As played, on the turn, should I call this big overbet shove?

I wish I could do an actual analysis, but his line feels weaker than top two on that flop. like it feel liks 25/A2/A5 + weak Ax like A3 A4. and when he overshoves Ax with hearts? I imagine that if you give him 22 55, two pair, tpair plus gutshot, tpair plus combodraw, and 34 youll find youre ahead. That leaves 5 set combos, two pair combos (you beat all of these), top + flush draw, etc. I'm pretty sure youll see your ahead and just call. I'm not like snap call yay because this is weird. But it's like a “man what are you doing, okay…” It sucks because I think he has 34 there sometimes. Multiway pots happen and people limp ridiculously. But it's a 2 dollar and I can see dudes going nuts with like “oh man i have a pair of aces!” idk. hope you called though.

i would call because i would convince myself he would never do this with Top 2 or a set. Esp since the flush draw cam in the backdoor, it seems like there is not much for him to be worried about with those hands. Seems like a big ace that he does not really have any idea what to do with.

Thank you guys for the most valuable insight, in the actual hand I did call and he had 3d4d for the flopped straight, and I doubled him up only to bust some hands later…
