Preflop: Hero is MP3 with 3:club:, A:club:.
5 folds.

Flop: (5.50 SB) 6:spade:, 5:club:, A:spade: (2 players)
Hero bets, CO calls.

Turn: (3.75 BB) 7:spade: (2 players)
Hero bets

Not entirely a blind steal attempt - I have a hard time open limping in MP3. And from playing 6-max I love open raising suited aces.

Flop bet is automatic I think. Turn bet ok? I'm not loving the 3 spades.

Are you folding to a trun raise?

I often limp here if it's a really loose game behind me
4 way action with a suited Ace can be a big payoff.
I like your play, even if you get a few callers, you play ok mulitway

Looks pretty good to me. I know you're not liking the spade draw getting there, but that's no reason to slow down by itself.

What's your line if someone raises the turn anyway?

EDIT: Actuary, if the game is really loose, isn't that more reason to raise, as you'll get people incorrectly calling 2 betswith hands inferior to our A3?

The spade draw coming in is good news/bad news. If he doesn't have a spade it makes him more likely to fold. If he raises the turn I'm probably folding. Possibly calling and then check/calling a non-spade river. I don't remember any specific reads on this player now but I don't think he was the type to bluff raise so probably 80% fold, 20% call.

well, I wasn't thinking so loose they call two cold all the time.
I like a raise here, if I expect to cut the field by at least half
I don't think a raise is ever (that if at all ) wrong here, actually.
