Preflop: Hero is MP2 with , , , .
3 folds, Hero raises to $1.75, MP3 calls $1.75, 4 folds.
Standard PF raise with AAKx double suited. I wish the 8 was higher, but can't have it all.
Heads up, I like my overpair + nut flush draw as a possibly good, possibly semi-bluff hand. Villian is shortstacking VERY aggressively, and I'm willing to get it all in here. I wasn't terribly surprised to get jammed. An overpair is almost a worthless hand in loose passive full ring, but it's worth a bet heads up.
As it turns out, I didn't have quite the equity I thought:

But the ten saved me for a higher two pair. I don't like villian's jam there with bottom two. I do like villian's call preflop with . That is a good ace-cracker hand, but I want a flop with two spades and some sort of wrap straight draw.
Final Pot: $63.75
I like playing ace-cracker hands like that. When a tight player raises preflop (I was tight at that table, but only due to a cold run), AAxx hands obviously are a large part of their range (especially with an MP raise like mine was). Smooth calls with ace crackers make post-flop reads easier. With a flop like (best), or even there, villian can comfortably jam and be way ahead of most of my range. Note jamming the low end of a wrap straight draw is dangerous with multiple opponents, but heads up against a very possible AAxx, you can safely do it.
Funny thing is, I regularly raise hands like with position in order to isolate and make my flush draws more likely to be good by chasing out bad suited aces.
