No stats on UTG, so nothing to go on.
I recognize that calling the re-raise OTF might have been dumb

PokerStars - $0.10 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: $10.00 (VPIP: 27.27, PFR: 18.18, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 11)
SB: $7.26 (VPIP: 16.67, PFR: 16.67, 3Bet Preflop: 20.00, Hands: 12)
BB: $11.61 (VPIP: 23.33, PFR: 18.89, 3Bet Preflop: 11.11, Hands: 90)
UTG: $11.94
Hero (MP): $10.10
CO: $10.49 (VPIP: 5.00, PFR: 5.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 22)

SB posts SB $0.05, BB posts BB $0.10

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.15) Hero has A♠:3♦:

UTG raises to $0.20, Hero raises to $0.75, fold, fold, fold, fold, UTG calls $0.55 <<< the 3Bet is to try to take it now

Flop: ($1.65, 2 players) 2♣:A♦:T♣:
UTG bets $0.89, Hero raises to $4.35, UTG raises to $11.19 and is all-in, Hero calls $5.00 and is all-in <<< this seemed obvious facing a donk bet. If he calls, I'm facing a better A or a flush draw. The problem with opponent re-raising is that I have less than half a stack left.

Equilab says:
Board: 2♣A♦T♣
       Equity     Win     Tie
MP2    72.91%  60.79%  12.12% { A3s+, KcQc, KcJc, QcJc, KcTc, QcTc, JcTc, Kc9c, Qc9c, Jc9c, Tc9c, Jc8c, Tc8c, 9c8c, A5o+ }
MP3    27.09%  14.97%  12.12% { As3d }

The cashout offer was $11.96, for $1.80 profit, less the fee.

Would you take it?

BTW, this is Equilab vs Opponents actual holding:
Board: 2♣A♦T♣
       Equity     Win     Tie
MP2    37.17%  37.17%   0.00% { XcYc }
MP3    62.83%  62.83%   0.00% { As3d }

In my opinion the cash out is a get of jail card for free, I am being more inclined not to take cash outs but In some cases it is maybe advisable, these maybe when its multiway and you have a lot of outs against you or the villain should not have called you in the first place.

Snap fold pre and call flop as played.

Pre-flop seems like a fold indeed with a weak off suite ace. Not sure if you have any info on the villain, but I need really good reads to 3bet bluff against the UTG open. A3o played horrible post-flop and is easy dominated against villains raising range.

Flop play is questionable as well. I would most likely bluff catch. No need to raise and if I raise $2,30 is more than enough in position. Now you get in a spot that you are committed and villain should only shove with better or a strong draw.

I never did the cash-out thing yet ... I just can't get myself to push that button because it costs money :f_tongue:. If I'd take a bit longer to decide maybe I would, but I just automatically insta-click no somehow.

If you want to do this preflop for some specific reason or a better position and maybe vs a weaker opening position, make sure you are suited. That way, you can double barrel if you hit a flushdraw by the turn, representing your strongest range.
