I lead the flop 100% of the time. Then the rest of the hand is easy.

Would you lead if the flop was not two tone?

I think I probably value bet this. His small bets combined with the call of your re-raise makes me think flush draw which means that A likely hit his hand. I think you'll get call here often enough from a weaker hand to make it worth a bet.

Lead the flop.

The way you played it, just push the river.

A lot of these 'play from the blinds' hands make NO sense at all. I mean, if there's anything special about the villain that caused you to do something different, then post those specific reads. If not, your default lines are pretty bad.
