Very tough spot. I think maybe I just call the flop and shove a safe turn. Did he make that raise to $17.29 quickly? If he's just randomly dragging the slider that could definitely be a sign he's just getting aggro in a blind battle with a set at best.

He probably plays 2 pair and a set like this, you are ahead of most of the hands he would play like this. I like a call and push a safe turn. Followed by puking when he shows 98.

Dont opencomplete this. I'd just fold PF or come in with a raise, if he is nittish enough.
Postflop, your main concern should be to get your money in the middle. I'd call his bet and cr/ai any nonpairing, nonheart turn. It's headsup, you have 3rd nuts - just make sure he pays you off with anything you beat. (If you push the flop, you make him fold most of his worse hands.)

If BB just happen to have 89 or 48, then oh well. Push. I really can't imagine someone who flopped the nuts would continue to raise in this situation. It looks more like he's got two-pair and not willing to let another card hit the table (any straight card or heart = bad for him).

Pretty easy push here - I think villain plays a set or two pair the same way HU.

Punish him for braking rule number #1 - don't go broke in an unraised pot. Btw, don't forget your backdoor straight flush draw - ok very remote but you did say you were deep. Call. Induce big 2 pair bet.... Call.... Induce value river bet - raise...

i think this is pretty easy giving a typical 50nl opponet. he could have an over pair he was trying to slow play, a set, 2 pair, tptk, or even just 2 over cards. in my experience people play horrible in the blinds. villians will often over play hands when it is a blind battle. i say push and then if he happens to have a higher straight reload it without a second thought
