I would post this in the quick check thread but I haven't got any responses on my other hands in there for weeks. Sadly I guess it is dead.

Not a lot of hands on villian bc he left the session and came back (Ignition). He was however spewing and potting where ever possible with any four cards and re buying for the minimum. So my strat against him was to limp a decent hand pre (since I knew he was going to end up potting), hit a flop and take his stack. Rinse and repeat. I'm fairly certain CO was playing the same game. However looking back I am wondering if this was a flawed strategy or if I played too loose for future reference in these situations. Thanks all!

Should I pot this turn and put him all in or ???

This is just a weird hand for me bc villian could have anything and is basically playing without even looking at his cards

Pot it.

yeh i would put him all in on the turn. On the flop I think you are already quite far ahead of his range so i would pot it there as well and wouldn't be too bothered about the other player.

I would contemplate folding this hand preflop UTG in a loose game like this

fold pre the first time

Fold pre

It is very solid to fold pre but I find myself 2.5xing this just to widen my percieved range and because it has broadway, double gap connector with flush draw, and the almighty set.

I don't mind limping seeing those BB stats, just hit a flop and you probably stack him. unless you have seen him to actually be on a heater of good hands. BB hasn't 3b yet though which makes his range there interesting.

Flop he is so short that you just put him all in however there needs to be a failsafe vs CO positionly ambushing you with the A or K FD+,and he has some 8*** hands there , so potting is somewhat insane but I don't see any harm in raising it to make your turn shove more 'powerful'/simplified.

Why fold this first in? Is it just because of this awkward stack leverage situation where deepstacks behind are likely to come along with big hands so that we can't isolate flop vs BB? If that's the case, can't we try to exploitatively open this pre to discourage calls by deepstacks and then isolate the BB who is going to repop any4?
Are bad KK good enough to limp/shove pre then even with CO behind?

With 9bb effective, discussion is meaningless. Don't limp and don't call the pfr either.

So what's the move if there's more than 9?

Novel concept, let's use our imaginations lol

Imagining an ideal scenario in a spot with an indefinite set of variables is quite a task. This will never be a slam dunk, fist pump get it in, but actions could vary from bet/folding 15-25bb, checking behind, maybe b/c in some spots but it's the least likely of the 3 options.

I see, very interesting. I only ask because these type of very unusual situations come up quite often in my experience trying to learn this game. Usually I find myself in an obvious get it in scenario or a wtf type situation. The latter being from my lack of experience.

^ I can appreciate that, and it's not uncommon. Work on your game by watching videos, playing and posting more hands for review and you'll find that these uncomfortable/new situations become fewer.
