This hand may be standard, but I was a little surprised by result.

Villain 1: Generally loose passive pre-flop (limps in too much in ep and mp, calls raises liberally). Lately he has opened up a bit and raises and three bets more, but not nearly as much as he probably should. Post flop is generally TAG, but he does vary a bit. I have seen him call down three streets as well as shove on people with tptk. I think he is a winner in the game thanks to player pool, and though he has a bunch of leaks, can hand read somewhat.

Villain 2: LAG player who likes to splash around a lot pre-flop. He will take any opportunity to bluff if he thinks it is a good spot, regardless of whether opponent(s) are calling stations.

Both players probably view me as winning TAG, capable of making moves in the right spots. Effective stacks are $2,300. Playing 5 handed.

Villain 2 opens to 40 in CO. Villain 1 cold calls. Hero makes it 150 from the SB with KQ. BB folds and both players call fairly quickly. Pot is $459 after bad beat dollar.

Flop is KQ3. I lead 350, Villain 2 folds, Villain 1 calls. Pot is $1,159.

Turn is J. I lead for 650. Villain 1 shoves. I think for a bit and call. My thoughts are that his range is sets, two pair, and AK, with the occasional spaz out with pair and straight draw. Does this seem reasonable?

Standard? Thoughts on all streets appreciated.

From your reads on the opponents, they seem pretty tough.

Is PF standard with King High, OOP against two relatively tough opponents?

I kinda like it and the flop lead.

The turn is confusing, this looks a lot like AhTh, AdTd, 33 or some QJ, KJ weird combo.

I'm probably calling and taking note, you are getting pretty good odds.

Tough spot, but u def have to call. u had him beat so often, he can easy have weaker 2 pairs, pair+flush+straight draw. Not so often he had A10 but set 3s or somehow Qs. It seems standard imo

I thought I was in a good position. I have position on the potentially pre-flop spazzy guy and the guy who will call him a bunch. I am not saying they are the ideal "give money away" opponents, but I am ok with it. There was one other player, not involved in this hand, at the table that was way too loose, and liked to make hero calls.

There were two suggestions to make my pre-flop raise bigger. I am going to employ that more in my game. I agree that raising bigger here pre-flop is good.

Agree with bigger 3bet pre and smaller on the flop. Call turn getting 3.5:1 heavily blocking KK and QQ. I think you'll see 33 AK ATs KJss KQ

pre given stacksize you can 3b bigger or flat but your size isn't disastrous.

if you 3b pre on the flop I like a small cbet ~2/5 to 1/2pot..
