Hello, I found it very tough to fold on this position. I seem to get in tough situations like this all the time. Was my play reasonable? Villain seemed to be raising a wide range of hands, thus I decided to reraise.

Here, I am with KK with one spades in a flop with all spades.

Player hero has small blind (0.02)
2 players fold to
Player Villain raises (0.20)
Folded back to hero
Player Hero raises (0.48)
Player Villain calls (0.30)
*** FLOP ***: [5s As Qs]
Player Hero bets (0.66)
Player Villain allin (4.43)
Player Hero allin (3.26)
*** TURN ***: [5s As Qs] [3d]
*** RIVER ***: [5s As Qs 3d] [5c]

Villain won with 2 pair, AQ

If your playing against a reg that's a TAG or NIT this is never profitable call.

Your villain would have to be super wide and have to be super bluffy, even then your just bluff catching and even if he's got Ace rag and turned it into a bluff we have to hit.

So yeah bad awful shape. Easy fold

At least one important info are missing here,the villain stack size.Raise bigger pre against a known fish,as played I would fold on the flop because fish range can be Ax + KJs .

Perfect spot to play passive post flop.

Yeah, checking the flop turns our hand face up, but villains at 2nl can't read.

Also, don't post the results.

I'd like to address people saying it is a fold. In on mobile and doing sloppy math based on somewhat limited stack info here but don't we have the right odds to call his shove with our nut flush draw? Maybe not if he has a flush but villain shouldn't have flushes in his range after pre besides a loose call with a hand like J10s. We also 3 bet too small pre.

Checking somewhat turns our hand face up but when we bet and are called we are almost always behind so I don't mind. Betting flop a tad bigger so we are always priced in when he shoves. but that just doesn't seem that exciting either. Kind of just an all around ugly spot. I kind of like playing our hand as a bluff catcher with a draw to the nuts myself and calling flop/turn based on odds. Nobody is going to be triple barreling air in this spot so we can play accordingly

He had 4. Something. It shows how much money he had left on his shove.
