A very loose passive player limps in CO, A Tag raises on the button, I am next to act in the SB.

What is the play assuming the BB is tight with these?

A8o
A7s
K9s
KJo
9Ts

What if the BB was super loose and likely to call a 3 bet?

If low rake game I 3! A7s and T9s. KJo is tempting but I prefer that to heads up, T9s is easier to play 3-way imo high implied odds lower reverse implied odds.

High rake game I dump all and wait for better because overlay from BB is going down the tubes.

You're in CO, BTN is an unknown. Table is pretty loose-passive. Think typical passive 4-8 or 8-16 table.

Three limpers in front. How low do you go with off suit connectors and one gaps? I've been called out as nitty over in NC thread for only going down to JTo connectors.

I generally don't play offsuit connectors under JT either, mainly because that's what the SSHE book told me to do.

With three limpers, I’d raise qj and kt off suit

I'd over limp these. Loose passive players are limping with better plus I'm not loving bloating the pot with hands like these.

The low jack opens. He is a very agro and good lag/tag. He caps a lot in HU, 3 way pots. He is probably opening top 20% here. He likes to pound it post flop and bully players. He probably sees me at weak since I have wiffed on a bunch of boards and folded.

It is folded to me on the button with 77's.....The BB is at minimum calling and often caps as well...I've seen him cap A8o. He is super laggy pre and post and super showdown bound. The SB is a TAG.

Given this dynamic, do you change your normal approach to the situation?

I would 3bet here easily. Maybe consider leaving the game if you can’t comfortably 3bet this?

Still 3bet. But I imagine at a certain point if BB is coming along with 100% anyways cold call + evaluate flop makes sense. I'd he's not playing 100% I still 3 bet cuz he'll definitely play wide getting 5-1.

I agree. You're dominated too often here, playing this hand post flop multiway will be painful.

T7o and A7o are the tough decisions

3 bet all of them and change seats. don't play to the left of lagtags. i don't mind cold calling A9s though. cold calling A4s and A7s and playing without initiative seems really bad though, so if you aren't willing to 3 bet then fold

UTG is new to the game but seems to be a TAG. UTG+1 is very loose and passive. I am UTG +2. The rest of the players include one TAG, one Lag, A tight passive, and 3 loose passive regs.

UTG opens, UTG +2 calls. If I choose to call I think there will end up at least 5 players. If I choose to 3 bet I might get it 3 way but It could just as easily end up 4 or 5 ways or more.

What would you do with these....88's 77's 55's 22's?

Most likely 4 or 5 to the flop....why wouldn't you set mine? If you raise PF..... you think you can win a multiway with a CBet? (me neither)

I'd 3-bet the 88, call or 3-bet the 77, call or fold the 55, and fold the 22.

In what circumstances are we 3-betting next in with mid-high suited connectors, i.e. JTs-98s? Just on the button? Against all MP/LP opens? Never? Are we ever 3-betting next in with worse, i.e. 87s, 76s?

FWIW, I 3 bet pretty liberally with everything down to 87s against everything but in EP open, in which case I only 3 bet JTs and sometimes T9s, but I feel like this may be a leak.
