Villain in this hand is ExitOnly from last night's 45k. I find these hands vs other 2+2ers quite interesting. How well/bad did we play it?

I push the turn. I don't want him drawing, and the pot is really big so winning it right there is really great too. I really don't like the check, you just give wheel draws a chance to draw.
edit: the fact that you know it's exit, and you know he's a good player, means he probably raised with something good from that position PF. That makes me think a push on the turn is gonna get called a lot of the time, and you woulda gotten paid. No way anyone folds that turn with what he had. I don't know why you got that scared.

wth? wheel draw? exit is playing a2 or a3 from that position?
there is no draw on this board, with the exception of a low card straight draw that has no relation to any hands exit is holding in this situation.
this hand was played super passively. if you are going to smoothcall preflop, either bet/3bet the flop so you can let him put you on 99-JJ and get all his/your chips in, or lead the turn for the same result. maybe you think you're losing AK-AQ, but I think they are putting barely any more chips in the pot anyway, and you are losing a ton of chips from hands like Exits (or even TT/JJ) that think they are ahead.

On second thought you're right, I shouldn't be that scared of A3/A2 and low suited cards. I just hate giving free cards, and hate slow playing aces, ESPECIALLY with the preflop call. Maybe not a push then, but some sort of bet on the turn, if only for value.
