Early Sunday Morning. Table is playing very loose and aggressive. $20 raises are getting called 4 ways preflop.
H[$445]: Have been sitting for roughly 90 minutes or so. Given the table dynamics i've been playing exceedingly tight. I've raised two hands so far. QQ which went 6 ways pf and AA which went 4 ways and gave me my current stack. Other than that, i've been politely making conversation while folding my trash.
V1[$480]: Has been sitting for 30 minutes or so. Has only raised twice in that timeframe and won a large pot with a set of kings against V2. He limp calls a decent amount and is not positionally aware but also isn't playing garbage like unsuited connected, 1 gappers or easily dominated broadway hands.
V2[$280]: Large fish. He's in for about $1k at this point and continually rebuys. He plays every hand regardless of raise size, his position or situation. Cannot be bluffed and will call down with middle pair no matter the board texture.

So as you can tell by my title, I obviously don't think I played this hand correctly.
-Seems like a flop flat and re-evaluate on the turn. Raising seems to fold out tons of hands that I can still get value from (from V1 at least) and basically flashes neon lights in V's faces saying I have AA. On the other, I want to make sure to take V2 to value town with all of his kings since he's not going to fold one.
-Turn is also a really tough spot for me. On one hand, I'm still trying to get V2's stack into the middle. On the other, V1 clearly likes his hand and it appears i'm in a WA/WB situation with him although there are still some FD in his range, albeit not many. In the end I opt to check because V2's stack is short enough at this point that I still feel I can get it into the middle and also think bombing the turn will fold out Ks from V1's range while I might be able to get a crying call from him on the river with a check.
-River sucks. I thought about this for quite a while. Does anyone think i see a worse two pair or busted FD enough to make this call profitable?
Sigh, let me have it.
