Strategy

An older gentleman around 70s has about $1200 chips in front of him (max buyin $250). He is forcing people to fold with his slightly large bets and opts smaller when he has it.

I raised $12 with As2s on the button. He has around $1000, I have $375.
Middle seat player called me, the older gentleman called from lowjack.

Flop is 3s-4h-6s. I have nut flush draw and lower end straight draw. check – check I bet $17. Player X called, the villain raised me to $45.

I re-raised to $105. The other player folded.

Without thinking too much he re-re-raised to 165. I called. 

The pot is around $380-$390. The turn is a Tc. He bet $100.
What do I do? I have $375-12-165=$198 left. He is giving me 1-4.8 odds. 

I called. The river is a red 2. I have a pair of 2s. There is no way I am ahead. He pushed me all in. I folded.
