I decided to just call because I had a good read on MP being very capable of back raising. Given he has the stack size to just ship it here, I felt that flatting might be a better idea. Plus there is the bonus of disguising my hand very well this deep and I have position on SB/BB who are both deeper than me; I can pot control well.

Maybe raising on this board is an option. I feel that SB is extremely capped on this board and it favors my perceived range heavily. But I think if I raise him now he will just fold because I have the Ad so he can't have many draws to call here anyway.

This is a good card for me where I might be able to turn a lot of hands into bluffs. Hands like 55, 77, A6dd, etc.
Any raise basically commits him and I would elect to just jam big with all my bluffs here too since it puts max pressure on his bluff catchers.
Besides if I just call there will be many scare cards now on the river (4-straights, 3-flushes, 2 pair possibilities) where he can't call.
Thoughts on this line?

why make your value hand to bluff ?
Dont like the preflop play gaving sb good equtiy to get any set or two pair etc.
Preflop is great as a once in a while play. Since it's a spot you are gonna flat quite a few hands, it's great to show AA sometimes.
Given that this was based on a read on MP being backraisy I think you probably do it at a very low frequency so it's never bad.
Postflop is good, you can call down, raise flop or turn, all are viable options, you want to put alot of pressure on his overpair heavy range on this low board and having AA here and not just sets is great.
Personaly, I would just call down with AdAx since it takes away alot of FD from his range and it's the way you play most AdXd that don't turn extra equity.
This is just not correct. SB range has more equity and is more nutted/polarized.

Board: 8d4d2c
Equity Win Tie
MP2 47.37% 44.37% 3.00% { QQ-99, AdAh, AhAs, AQs-ATs, KQs, QJs, AQo+ }
SB 52.63% 49.63% 3.00% { TT+, AQs+, A5s-A3s, KQs, QJs, JTs, T9s, AQo+ }
I prefer to play back at SB squeezes with all my value hands in position for value always, save the flatting/fancy stuff for your lower pairs/SC you actually hit these boards with. You don't have to balance your AA, just your range.
Flop is ok I guess.
Turn is silly. I would rather min raise that turn with the range you are representing and have overpairs, especially AA for when he actuall has a hand (and he doesn't have anything here 80% of the time). You play turn like a fishy set miner.
