A3o Blind steal.
 

Villain is a loose agressive passive, seems to be one of those thinking LAGS. Havn't seen him do anything crazy postflop.

I am not planning on folding, what would be the best play from here?

Re: A3o Blind steal.
 

I'd call down, cuz I'd hate to get capped, and I want to see a showdown.

Re: A3o Blind steal.
 

Easy 3bet. If villain has 2pair or a set here, it is impossible for him to have a spade, which makes your three look especially nice. But besides all that, LAG's will make this play with AXs fairly often. Or even AK or AJ.

Edit: Thinking makes this 3bet even easier - you would have been 3bet preflop by AA, QQ or AQ. Perhaps even A2 depending on the lag. So he could have 22 or 33 here, but there are a lot of other hands he probably has which you are ahead of. Plus you will outdraw 22 and 33 fairly often.

I chose to call and raise the river instead when a non spade fell. I figured he could be semi bluffing with a high spade or most likely have a ragged 2 pair and would pay off my river raise.

Final Pot: 11.25 BB

villain thought for a bit, then asked me if I had a flush and folded. I think he didn't have anything and tried to make it seem like he was making some sort of a big lay down. Kind of funny.
