$1/3 NL:
Villain 1: Stack $300; Older male who has been playing tight and has only raised pre-flop with premium pocket pairs/Big suited connecters so far that I've seen. Demeanor has displayed obvious tilt having just rebought after losing his $800+ stack in a matter of 45 minutes to a bigger set and then running 6s making a full house for another player busting his JJ. Has raised his first 2 hands $20 pre flop since rebuying, this being his 3rd hand after re buy.
Villain 2: Stack $200; Another older male, who has been playing tight only showing down and calling/betting pre flop with JJ+ and AK-AJ suited and unsuited.
Hero's stack $240. Male in 20s who has only shown down strong hands throughout the night, been playing fairly tight but also aggressive. Believed to be perceived as somewhat aggressive but not necessarily tight by the rest of the table.
Been playing with villains for past 4 hours
Hand: Villian 1 opens action UTG +1 with 3rd consecutive $20 pre flop raise.
Villain 2 to his immediate left calls $20
Folds to Hero in SB who calls $20, BB folds.
Three handed with $63 in the pot; Flop K 9 4 rainbow.
Hero checks, Villain 1 bets out $100, Villain 2 folds.......Hero?
Hero's Plan: Pre flop hero's plan on any flop with no K or A is to bet out 2/3 pot. As hero believes a K or A may likely hit either Villain's hand. Wants to take advantage of tilted Villain, but also concerned about Villain 2 even moreso.
Once villain 2 folds, thought is to either shove over villain 1 or fold?
What's the best line/play for hero to take here both Pre-flop and post flop given actions and villains?
