Hi,
How do we play FD OOP like in this spot? I guess we should have raising range OOP but not sure what type of hands are better to raise and to call? Ax FD have nut potential and some kind of SDV how does this affect our decision? What kind of FD should we be calling here? Thanks

Nh you played it fine, good giveup river also.
Yeah, you should have a raising range, but have to be careful on this board as it really favours IP. But you still have 55 and QK that will like to raise pretty often.
As for bluffs, flushdraws- think i go for the bigger ones, probably if we need to be picky wich nut FDs are better raises i think A2-A4 is slightly better, folding out some better Ax, and also can sometimes make the runner wheel straight.
Lower FDs are gonna be mixed also, but mostly calling.
Anyway, your hand is completly GTO ;) probably sizing up turn abit more with my bluffs and value
Generally not raising this flop much, vs 1/2 as well. A7s is interesting hand, probably mix call/raise.
Turn doesn't give us anything, we should barrel only strong FD and some JT,AT,AJ(little).
River likely 90% give up, even though 7d might be fine to bluff (blocking 76s).
In general, NFD can be played as a mix of raise and call. Do you 3-bet KQo preflop against a CO 3x open? Probably not.
I would generally not raise much on the flop since it is very good for CO's range. He can have all the sets, AA, AK and KQ; and even stuff like JT has a lot of equity and will float. You're only folding out stuff like an underpair (which will likely check turn), a weak Qx or random stabs.
Still, I think raising A7s can be good sometimes, since you can have KQo, K5s and 55. I might prefer raising hands like JT instead of A7s because it has less showdown value, but the play is ok.
Turn and river look fine. River you should give up almost always.
I have a question.
I noticed you guys are all saying that you should give up river almost always, could you explain a bit further why? And on what river cards are you triple barreling? And why?
Thanks in advance.
There are many ways to construct ranges. You want to think about your ranges and Villain's ranges on each street. When it comes to decisions on the river, the ranges are narrower, so card removal plays an important part.
You want to first bluff with hands with no SDV. Other factors are: you want to unblock bluffs and block strong hands in Villain's range which will call.
Ace-high flush draws fare poorly in both the factors: Ace-high has some SDV, and if he has a FD himself, he'll fold on the river, so you block some of his folding range. So these hands make bad bluffs on the river.
belrio42 summarised this well.
FDS are just almost allways bad tripple barrel candidates, because you block autofolds and that also makes it nore likely that he is strong. As for tripple barrels, TJ no diamond makes most sense. And probably give up the ones with diamond.. If flush completes OTR it it’s better to have TJ with a diamond.
