I guess his line suggest he has a set/A6/AT.I mean,this is a stupid 33/12/0,7 .He called that flop with a flush draw on it and then raised the turn.I guess he got scaried by the second flush draw on the turn.
Given that,i guess u should fold.You don't beat anything except a bluff,and your opponent also has AF 0.7.
Fold imo.

24 hands isn't enough to make any judgements on Villains stats.

Unless he's one to limp big hands like A-T, T-T preflop, then his limp-call suggests a small pocket pair...you raised a standard 4 times and he figured hes got the right implied odds to stack you if he hits, and also position.

The way I read the flop is this - you donkbet him and he figures its worth a call if he has a PP, just in case you're trying to steal the pot. If he is one to limp call big hands like A-T or T-T, then you're in trouble.

The turn raise - the 6 spade isn't a scare card for you - so your bet out was ok imo. His re-raise does suggest a set or two pair (I doubt it would be A-6) so it looks like you're now behind. If you don't fold now, you're probably looking at an all in on the river.

First, calling with the intention of check/calling the river is the worst line. It's time for a commitment decision now, not later. If he's on a draw and hits, he'll be able to make a bet which you're pretty much obligated to call because of the pot size and the fact that you don't know which draw hit; while if he misses his draw, he can take a free showdown and save some money. A call builds a $57 pot with MP having ~$26 behind - you can't (and shouldn't) get away from a river bet.

So that leaves folding or shoving. Both are perfectly legitimate options here - depending on the villain, of course.
