I want you to help me to evaluate my decision to 2barrel flop and turn and sizing of my turn bet

Thanks in advance!

How many hands do you have on button? What is his fold to cbet and aggression factor?

I would just flat the button and take a flop with that hand. It plays very poorly in general against a raise and call from the SB, even a hand like QJ/J9 is easier to play imo than A-rag. If you raise 3x and get called (like you did), now it's going to be REALLY hard to play OOP. I like that raise with A10o+, 77+, and maybe hands that you really don't want to continue with like QJ/KJ, otherwise flat or even a fold isn't bad.

As it is, If you bet 1200 on the flop and get called the pot is going to be 5000+, so you are setting yourself up for a really spewy 2-barrel if you miss your draw imo, 1700 on the turn is only 1/3 pot, but due to stack sizes it's really hard for you to put more in imo.

It might be better to just shove that flop. You don't really have a stack to be making moves with.

+1 to arjunt

dont 3bet, c/shove flop to get him off Tx/Kx maybe and smaller pairs

ur bet otf and turn are so minimal u are inviting a rec player to float u with Ahigh

For 40 hands his fold to cbet 50%, AF 2.6

I agree that flat isn't bad option, due to the fact that opps are pretty passive. After some thoughts I think that if I 3x in this spot, I should raise more, and than just give up or c/shove on the flop
