Effective stacks $1200

Villain 1&2 loose, utg and utg+1
Villain3 loose and on tilt just got bluffed, CO
Hero TAG MP 33

V3 strattles for $10. V1, v2 and hero calls. V3 makes $45. All 3 of us calls. Pot $180.

Flop Q37 with 2 hearts.

V1 bets $5 and v2 calls. What is hero play? If I call there is a good chance v3 raises since on tilt. What is best play?

I might be inclined to min raise here which reopens tge betting for anyone who wants to spazz

If it just gets called I bomb the turn

In actuality I prob raise to 130 and pray someone has a queen

Depends on how loose they are. Bet as much as you think they will call with a Q or a FD. I'd prob bet $150 - just ignore the $5.

Bet five dollars? Is that a typo? if not, it's essentially a check.

So your question is, do you lead into a PFR with bottom set or check (essentially) to him to let him c-bet? Opinions differ on this, but with your TAG image and his tilting LAG image I check to him almost always. Is your concern that the f-ed bet by V1 is going to reduce his c-bet chance? It's not the end of the world to let the turn come here even if it ends up quasi-checking around.

i def make it 120ish here. no way i'm letting anybody see a cheap/free turn. you'll get called by lots of queens and flush draws. they might even raise you, which is awesome.

This is a fairly dry board for set of 3s, so aren't we trying to get our stacks in by the river? With 190 in the pot, you can raise to 150, bet 375-425 on the turn and bomb the river unless a heart comes.

The $5 suck because although it is essentially a check I do feel it reduces the chance of PFR bombing. So raise 120ish to build a pot.

Preflop: I read your post wrong originally... you played this street well.

Flop: If you are fairly sure that CO will raise then yeah, lay the tap. If you can't count on that though, just raise yourself approximately the same amount you would have bet if it had been checked to you.

Just my opinion...

Debatable, I'd def raise in this position though to $120 or so. Pots big, you have spewy full blown tilt behind you, and there is a good chance someone is drawing on this board so you dont want to give anyone a cheap turn. However, its fine if a flush draw calls and even better if it raises. Also, I expect all players here to be calling you here with any AQ,AK,KK,AA or flush draw. Be weary of v1 though, its possible hes attempting a mad goofy fancy play with 77 or QQ, same with V2 in terms of the call. But if you get raised...snap shipppp it...

=you most of the time
