I am pretty positive I played this wrong and should have folded but let me know what you think Villain shows up with here and exactly how bad of a call it is.

I don't have a HUD but this is a .10/.25 6 max cash game regular, I play with him often. He is fairly passive post-flop but has made mistakes against me in the past because I am constantly putting him to the test.

His steal/raise on the button percentage is very high, hence why I do things like call with A3o from the SB. I often 3bet but not Aces this weak, put your 2 cents in if you think I should do something different pre-flop and why.

Otherwise only analysis I am asking for is the way I played this hand post-flop.

Tip* Fairly quick shove following my flop raise. *tricking me into thinking I had just trapped him and he has AK*

Get a tracker ASAP. At 50NL and up you'll get eaten alive without one.

As for your line, flatting pre was fine. Playing this super-fast against a normally passive player though, is a little worrisome. What do you think he can get stacks in otf with here that you beat? AK? I'm assuming he won't have J3...

I know he's not folding an ace considering my history with being fairly aggressive against him, especially in blind to blind/button to blind scenarios. So yes I expected him to have exactly AK as it seemed he didn't even think twice and the all-in was a massive overbet.

After re-evaluating I thought that I should have put him on AJ though and am lucky at best to see KQ of spades..

preflop's horrible...3-bet or fold are both better than flatting.

cuz A3o sucks, you're OOP with a hand that never flops anything.

not even if I add some floats/check-raises on dry-boards into my game?

Which has blockers to the top of a super wide range (this is BTN vs SB). 3bet is fine, but I can't help but think that we can get more value out of flatting and taking it down after his enormous range whiffs the flop (since the pot odds we lay ourselves donking flop are so much better than the odds we lay ourselves 3betting pre).

the rag aces r that hard to play. u go hoping for 2pairs but u see even getting it makes u loose all. i think those hands just if u want to play them against a raise go slow by check calling.
its a high risque low reward hands.
