Flop
5♦ 8♥ A♠

Defend suited hands preflop against small SB opens, but don't feel obligated to peel on Ace-high boards without a direct draw.

Flop Analysis

Folding is the highest EV play. While we have a backdoor spade draw, this board heavily favors the SB's range, and we lack the equity to continue against a 1/3 pot bet.
