not sure how I feel about the raise on the button, I'd rather just limp IP; You're not getting the right odds to call the raise pf, even IP it should be a fold

AP, raising and raising fairly big to deny equity to FD's and get value, please don't flat call this flop

I like the raise, but we should go smaller here I think. Not sure what the normal raise was PF but to me there's no need to go 5x the straddle with no one else in the pot when you're on the BTN...a thinking V will know you have a very wide range, and it makes for more difficult in spots just like this when we get 3!. Raise to like 6 or 8 here and we can get behind calling a 3! for $20ish dollars. 40 is too much of our stack to be playing suited connectors hoping to hit a flop. Villain has a pretty nutted range I think.. from what I've seen tighter villains in low limit games don't raise their BB unless they've got a monster.

AP it's a now or never kind of flop for me, if he has spades or AK say nice hand and move on, but we want to set ourselves up to GII here when we flop a straight, so raising is a must. With the board this wet and so many bad cards that can come on a turn for us, I'd consider shoving here, but if not, don't raise an amount where your opponent is committed to calling off whatever stack you have left. I'd just make it like $80. If he insta-shoves when a spade comes on the turn, you at least saved $100. If it's a brick you're getting it all in one way or another.

As played.
Hero Raises 210 All in.
V1 tanks for 2 minutes and folds.
V2 snap calls and turns over K 9.
Drawing dead.

I went all in to put pressure on AA through 10 - 10. and combos of AQ with Ace.

2x pot overshove is massively overplaying our hand. We're only getting actions from hands which beat us or have *very* good equity against our hand.

Raise to $90 or so.
