Results excluded, is it bankroll healthy to lead on the flop?
Then, when Villain re-raises pot, he has either AA or a set. With this wrap and backdoor low I figured to have enough equity to call. Am I mistaken?

Villains reraise preflop doesnt mean much as he was doing that quite often.

Fold preflop. Your hand is marginal vs a single raise, but vs a raise and re-raise it's a definite fold.

i wouldn't be too excited about the hand pf facing a raise and a reraise barring some sort of read.

on the flop i could go either way depending on who else was in the hand.

I think this is certainly not a fold pre-flop, with a suited A3 + 2 more broadway cards, I'm taking the flop everytime for that price.

The pre-flop call constitutes about 1/25th of your whole stack size. There is no way you are going to be a 25:1 dog going to the flop.

In position the flop call is a no brainer to me, in the bb it's iffy but worth it, as TG said you would definitely prefer to see high cards on the flop.

The flop brings you pretty much the holy grail for that hand, it's either a pot lead or pot check raise IMO.

[Kuso]

my lack of excitement about the preflop call has mostly to do with the fact that it doesn't close the betting. i think this is an often-overlooked point in preflop play. there certainly are players against whom you can feel fairly confident that they won't jam pof, but we weren't provided with reads, so... anyway, it's a MUCH easier call if i close the betting.

fwiw, i love it when i'm in EP and can put the squeeze on in situations like this with a big hand.

True, a check raise wouldve perfectly applied to this situation.
Regarding the preflop call, i´d rather have this hand than a naked a2.
