Playing 1-2 NL holdem at the barn last night. It's a long weekend in Canada, lots of people drinking.

Table is very loose and aggressive. Pre-flop raises to $20 with multiple callers is common.

Villain 1 - loose aggressive player, has a reputation of being one. 600 in front He's UTG, bought in 3 times but caught a nice run and has about 600 in front.

Villain 2 - Very passive, calling station, has about $400 in front. Lowjack position.

Hero - On the cutoff, has about $400.

Villain raises to $15, folds all around Villain 2 calls. Hero has 2d, 2s. Decides implied odds on a set are worth it, and calls.

Flop comes 8c 2c, 2h ..for the incredible quads! Hero is very happy and does his best to restrain his excitement.

Villain 1 bets out $25, Villain 2 snap calls, hero Snap calls hoping to impersonate a flush draw.

Turn card comes 4d (brick).

Villain bets $75..( I think to myself Villain is actually trying to protect an overpair. Villain 2 hesitates for a minute and calls. Hero emulates Villain 2, waits for a minute and calls.

River comes the Ace of Clubs.

Villain 1 has a look like he hated that river card. His body language says F--- off. Villain 1 checks. Villain 2, pauses and bets out $50.

Hero not sure what to do. The choices seem to be:

a) Call, hoping Villain 1, will call with Jacks or Queens. Perhaps, even go for a bluff-raise -steal sensing weakness if I call.

b) Raise to $100, maybe the raise is small enough that Villain 1 will still look it up and Villain 2 will call.

3) raise really big, maybe raise to 200 or go all in. Problem is Villain 1 will surely fold without a big ace and Villlain 2 may have the flush or may have been chasing Ace-X.

OP, I think you've been told before. Please don't include results as it biases responses. I edited them out.

The correct answer is #3, AINEC. You are only getting paid if someone hit the flush, but that's the same with the min-raise, so go for max value when someone has something they can call with.

FWIW, I raise turn to get more value out of FDs and be able to GII OTR if the flush does come in.

Preflop is standard given the conditions.

On the flop the pots is about $45 so $25 is a little on the small side but after V2 calls flat calling is fine. Raise the flop occasionally.

On the turn the pot is $115. The $75 is a fairly big bet so flat calling again is OK. You should raise turn sometimes also and if the bet had been smaller or V2 had folded a turn raise would be standard.

On the river the pot is $340 and you have $285 left and somebody bet into you. Shove is obvious. A hand big enough to play here will pay you off often enough that going smaller is costing you money. You would need a very specific read to go with anything else.
