Playing an incredibly loose, crazy private game. Stacks are all over the place, with people buying in for the min 100 and shoving blind, and others with 3k in front of them.
Preflop raises are often ridiculous, but even more ridiculous are the calling hands.
Hero (700$): I've played a lot with these guys, and I'm a big winner over the year. I think I have built a pretty loose image although tonight I'm playing quite tight because of all the action. But it's not like these villains have paid attention. I've recently almost doubled up getting value on every street with KK against TPTK.
V1: (200$). He got stacked for the nth time the previous hand. Huge long-term loser in this game. When he has one of his 'favorite hands' (33, 32, TT, QT) he usually gets it in preflop. I know his game very well and have solid tells on him, especially if he hits the flop or not. I'm purposely sitting on his direct left.
V2: (1400$). Calls everything preflop, typical super loose passive fish. A call is an immense range, a raise is close to the nuts. Huge douche and slowroller, but don't know if that's relevant. Never 3-bets light. Has recently won a huge pot after calling a big raise OOP with 82o and flopping the nuts (lol).
1 limp in MP. Guy has about 300$ and is unlikely to limp 3-bet.
V1 (HJ) raises to 26. Very standard raise at this table, almost on the small side with 2 limpers. His range is super wide here, but I'm almost sure he doesn't have JJ+: he would either limp-shove or bomb it right now.
Hero (CO) finds T

. Typically I would 3-bet isolate V1, but his rebuying short and his current tilt lead me to think that he'll shove a lot in this spot, often forcing me out with total air of flipping. Plus V2 is on the BTN and he loves to flat call, even in 3-bet pots. If I flat V2 will almost always call, nobody will squeeze light, one of the blinds will probably call as well and so will the limper, and my hand plays well multiway, IP against most villains. So I call
V2, as planned snap calls.
Blinds fold, limper folds
Pot: 84$
Flop: 5

Bink. V1 doesn't think long and shoves for his remaining 174. This basically means he has a piece of it, any piece. Any draw, top pair, middle pair, even bottom pair.
I know that whether I flat or raise it's going to look strong to you guys, but against specifically V2 it is a bit different. He clearly doesn't think about pot odds, and loves to flat, especially with all his new found chips. I fully expect him to call behind with all jacks, all flush draws and all open enders, and even some more random hands like gutshots and AT, but he can find a fold if i raise. So I call the 174.
V2 pretty much snap calls.
Pot: 606$ (I have 500 behind)
Turn: A
WWYD?
