I think you played it optimally tbh. If the opener was looser, and especially if he or the caller was a fish I would squeeze but as it stands I think calling is better.

Calling twice on this dry flop is best I think, if he bombs river you should fold, but if the river blanks and he checks I would be very inclined to value bet like HP vs AJ/AT.

Hello durinko,

Preflop: Calling preflop is totally fine, especially vs that kind of tight range. Vs him we are rather turning our hand into bluff. Though rather keep the loose players in the hand and play it postflop.

As played
Postflop: Calling flop is still fine whilst he could still even CB with worse Ax hands and we have still some backdoors even. But afterwards on the turn I'd be more willing to fold vs such a nit. His range is very narrow there and which means our equity is pretty crappy in those spots:

Board: A♠8♥7♣ 5♣
       Equity     Win     Tie
UTG    60.23%  50.88%   9.35% { AA, 88-77, ATs+, AJo+ }
UTG+1  39.77%  30.43%   9.35% { AhQh }

Best Regards.
