$1/$2 @ Parx this is the very first hand I am dealt at the table. Overall I am fairly happy with how I played & just wondering who plays differently, etc.

Hero: 24 ($200)- Regular: Villain 1 probably know me somewhat as LAG but pretty certain he thinks I am solid. (Game varies a lot between LAG & TAG depending on conditions).

Villain 1: ($300)-In his 20's A reg I have played with here and there, do not remember any specific history but at this point know he is very likely TAG.

Villain 2: ($250)- Older heavier guy... No clue who he is but if I had to label him as anything based on appearance, poker related mannerisms (this hand ha) & he limped EP in this hand -- Loose passive fish.

Hero buys B , V1 straddles $4. 1 limp V2 limps 1 more limp. Hero makes it $20 with A J V1 thinks for a few sec and flats, V2 flats rest fold.

Flop (~$70): K 9 8 ... Hero leads out for $50, V1 jams, V2 folds hero calls ~$130 more

Spoiler:
V1 shows K 9 board bricks out

I'm making it $25 -$30 pre
Also probably not leading flop and would lean more to a C/R although it wouldn't matter with this hand as the money is getting in either way unless your a nit who folds nut flush draws

130 to call, 300 in pot, calculating...calculating...you only need to win this hand like 30% of the time to make it a profitable call. Your hand is better than that against 2 pair, racing against most 1 pair hands, in worst case scenario he has a set and you are like 25%. Standard call.

Oop I'm usually completing the straddle with this hand and rarely raising to $32.

Wait, you're SB. Call pre.

Aside from that, well played.

yeah calling after he shoves in not really a question here, more of all actions leading up to this point.

So you're in position?

So they checked to you on this flop?

Standard play is standard then. Raise more pre.

No... I am out of position in the big Blind. I am first to act on the flop.

Buying the B: I sit in the game the guy to my right is the B. I can chose to wait a hand and let the button pass me or post both this big and the small & get the B the next hand. So for this hand I am posting both the big and the small and have the worst position at the table.

Don't raise pre.
