What do you think of my play here.
blinds 40/80 ante 10
CO: t2683 M = 12.78
BTN: t21016 M = 100.08
SB: t6210 M = 29.57
Hero (BB): t6377 M = 30.37
UTG: t2297 M = 10.94
UTG+1: t3436 M = 16.36
UTG+2: t3070 M = 14.62
MP1: t2850 M = 13.57
MP2: t2156 M = 10.27

Pre Flop: (t210) Hero is BB with A of diamonds 2 of diamonds
5 folds, CO raises to t176, BTN calls t176, 1 fold,

(Here I don't want to call since i would be playing OOP postflop and it looks like a steal attempt from CO, it is very likely that if btn had a hand he would 3 bet himself since he is aggresive, therefore i decide to squeeze and i think i have pretty good chances of getting away with that. If they 4 bet i'm up against big hand so i would fold if they call they are likely to have wide range of hands JT+ KT+ Ax suited ATo+, all pairs )
Hero raises to t560, CO calls t384, 1 fold

Flop: (t1426) 7 of diamonds 7 of spades J of diamonds (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets t855, Hero raises to t3991, CO folds


(not bad flop, I have shown an aggresion preflop , ace high flush draw, and i expect about 1/2 pot probe bet which would live villian with 1400 left and 2100 in the pot) Villian bets a liitle bit more and i check raise knowing that is very unlikely that flop improved my opponent and he gets about 3,5 odds on his call. I figure out there a big chances that he will fold and even if he will call i have big chances to improve to the best hand.

Would you play this hand differently and why ?

Final Pot: t3136
Hero mucks A of diamonds 2 of diamonds
Hero wins t3136

About preflop call or 3bet will be fine.

About postflop, I would played the same manner check/raise because pot already big and you have fold equity, but if you cbet flop and villain shove will be difficult situation, check/raise this right game here and looks very good against range CO on this board.

preflop: calling, folding and 3betting with the intention to fold are all fine.

I think I prefer calling >> 3bet >> folding

As played, now you've taken the lead in the hand. that is a pretty good flop for your hand. Ace high alone is worth a little something on a paired flop. but more importantly it is very hard for him to call, since he just flatted your 3bet he is unlikely to have QQ+ and most decent players are going to be able to fold all 1 pair hands to this line. And when he does look you up you've got outs. AJ is pretty much the only hand that he could call with, and I know I would likely fold AJ to this aggression.
