i dont like the call on the flop, i prefer a c/r all in over a c/c.

no better hand is folding the turn fwiw.

depending on the player some worse hands are calling though. AK/AQ with a spade i see calling in the spot a lot

I'm not digging it. A flush checks here almost always and you'll often get looked up by any PP he has with a spade in it and some without.

Preflop: Raise more. Calling re-min is ok but a fold is ok as well.
Flop: Fold or c/r allin. Re-min-raise is usually a strong hand from a donk, this is not a flop you want to call him down with. I think fold > c/r allin > call
Turn: He's probably not folding an overpair here. I don't like it.

At first glance the only street you seemed to play almost correctly was preflop.

Either fold or c/r AI on flop, and given how you got to the turn, c/f turn.

That is, unless you had some sick disgusting read where he only has AK here all the time that you neglected to tell us about, you're getting looked up on your turn bet, like, almost all the time.

i probably raise to 2k preflop if im raising.

Both calling/folding preflop are fine, I do see AK here with this smallish isolation raise, so with the tiny re raise I guess if you hit this kind of flop there is a chance he is going to whif some of the time and you will be able to check raise.

This is the perfect flop to check raise on because he cant call with AK (and if he does you are ahead) and u are only what, like 55/45 to black aces? maybe a little better?

i dont understand a check call here though, and I dont like the turn lead at all...

His flop bet seems pretty strong to me, the overbet basically says like ok I have jacks dont draw on me please.... But regardless I think your flop/turn line sucks..

the call on the flop was in anticipation of pushing any turn. sort of a weird form of a Stop N Go.
