HERO/HJ(450) New to game

V/BTN(500) young 20s white drinking, splashy kind of loose player

BTN straddle 15
UTG call
HERO A

UTG would likely raise AQ+/JJ+
BTN is expected to defend wide

fold/raise/call why?

$55.
Because we have a solid value hand, position on most of the table, dead money in the pot, and presumably skill edge on the table.

AJo goes up significantly in value with the 15$ straddle, making effective stacks way smaller. Raise

Raise.

Because V1's range is AJ-/TT- and V2's range is ATC. You don't get much more obvious value than that in the world of preflop poker.

AJo is close, I can't resist stuff like ATs and KQs. Probably every pair, maybe 55+ or 77+ or something.

Pre to $75 ISO attempt and buckle seat belts, sounds like button defends all suited connectors/gappers, all Broadway and some unsuited gappers. I would imagine this opening range is well ahead of his defends provided we can make some big calls. I don't mind checking and letting him Bluff off chips if we have A high or 1 pair. Do we have any handle on how he plays bluffs vs value?
