No clue, nice hand & what is wrong with the way you played the hand?

He probably put you on J-9 J-10 or 9-10. Kinda dumb tho because the flush draw is just as real in that situation. U were against a Jackal, hyper-aggressive opponent. He way overplayed his hand.

This Spin, and HU. So, call 63s - more than normal. Strangely only that why he did not put all-in right on the flop. Or raise on the flop and all-in on the turn.

Why think that he was forced to put on all the chips. Print the money further, friend:)

limping 63s is fine, but you should fold to his 6x raise for ~16% of your stack


in heads up any Ace has a good Showdown value, so his Play is not the worst

As you stated you should fold pre-flop.

If you don't hit as good as you did it's hard to defend almost any boards with 6,3. Even when you hit you can be beaten (even if it is less chance for that HU with short stacks).

I think he picked the wrong starting hand to bluff with. If he had the ace of hearts it would take the nut flush away from you and would have been a semi-bluff on turn instead of a pure bluff. An ace is often good to check down HU so he could have bluffed with worse hands or a draw instead.

So both check or bet the the flop is fine from villain. You almost don't have the odds to call with your low flush draw. But once you do call the only hands he can bluff you off is probably better aces and pairs lower than a queen. Maybe a bad queen also? I would have checked the turn myself most off the time.
