I played this home game 1/2 where players were way too aggressive with sizing and reraises.

here's the hand:

I have a stack of about 320, other players cover me.

UTG+2 opens for 15. Hijack 3bet to 30 and it folds to me.

Now this hijack is probably the loosest player at the table, he raised big bets with 25o, so this minraise seemed different, like a call for action.

I looked down at TT on the btn and I decided to flat and play the flop in position. Original raiser calls as well. 3way to a flop of 369 with 2 clubs.
Hijack bets 55. I figured he either has a big ace or has me crushed.
If I call here there's plenty of cards that are bad for me on the turn, and i'll be committed to the pot either way. So I decided to jam all in for a total of 280~. he calls, board runs dry with low cards and no flushes completed. I show and he mucks.

I really have no clue on what's the right play preflop and flop, any comments will help!

I think given how loose he is, jamming over his flop bet is perfectly fine.

Do we have the Tc also? Never hurts to have backdoor flush equity.

Well played but against someone with an extremely wide 3b range we want 4! with TT.

Not so much to get value or anything but to deny initial raiser coming in.

TT is much better heads up. When you flat the initial raiser is priced in with any two cards. (Obviously since it was a min 3 bet).


I'd pop it to 100. Making shoving on most flops trivial.

If initial raiser ships it, I'd probably sigh fold but against the active guy I fist pump get it in.

4! pre; $90-$100.

I 4bet pre vs. this guy unless you have a read that UTG+2 is strong -- we have to remember there is an EP raiser here -- kind of important. Actually, very important.

As played, I assume UTG+2 checked and you think he's weak -- not waiting to check/raise? If so, shove is good.

usually 3b ranges are pretty narrow at low stakes but a min-raise 3b from a maniac tells me that his range is fairly wide here and TT plays well vs it

we want to isolate this guy here with a range advantage and lower the SPR post flop
