~$685 eff.

Villain is a losing LAG rec player. Late 50's spending weekend at casino while wife is away. Claims to be down $4k.

PF ranges not based on position. Likes calling raises with any suited connectors and gappers as well as random suited face-card & X combos and J7o+. Calls a majority of pf 3bets but not all, ~5/8 that I've seen. Post flop sticky and attacks all aggression. He bets many times he's checked to & sometimes bluffs rivers in small to medium pots. Verbally stated he sees checking as a sign of weakness. Since sitting down, I've seen him rebuy for another 1K after getting coolered a few times, though those situations were sort of on him being loose pf and therefore catching bottom set in a 3b pot pf.

To his credit, he can range people okay, but his default is to try to out-play/draw everyone. Likely sees hero as weak-tight.

I would bet more preflop. You have a super loose/sticky villain, there are multiple callers already and your OOP. I would pop it to $75. As played this is a super dangerous flop bet more. $100-$125. It's more likely villain is drawing to beat you and SPR is around 5 so your not folding on the flop even if villain shoves.

Turn is a nightmare situation, because of pot and villain's stack and super aggressive play I don't see any way you get away from this. You can't bet/fold. Your are too close to getting your straight odds to chase a boat, the outside chance villain is bluffing or has two pair or a smaller set force a call. The same logic means you can't fold to villain's bet. I think the turn is a sigh/shove after villain bets. Might as well get the money in now because villain might give up whiffed draws on river and might not pay you off if you hit your boat.

Definitely more pre, more on flop, probably jamming turn.

Even though turn is not what we wanted to see it's better than a diamond so I shove.

Pre is way too small, $75-85 pre. Flop also too small, $110. As played it's whatever, I'm not folding KK here. If he gutterballed it, cool for him I guess, still got 10 outs.
