Flop top set, possible straight and a flush draw on board Flop top set, possible straight and a flush draw on board

Very deep stacked 2/5 game.

$10 straddle on

UTG +3 $2,000 stack, playing very loose, aggressive style. Raises a lot and has been caught bluffing several times and stacked once. Raises to $50(his normal raise).

Hero - tight, aggressive. Shown the goods all night and have worked stack up to $3,000. Calls with 66

A couple other callers(insignificant to hand)

Straddler who has me covered and is the loosest player at the table calls. In the game deep and stuck several thousand.

Flop is 632

Straddler fires out $100. Utg+3 raises to $400. Hero?

Want to know how others would play this and if I played it optimally.

I'd flat if I think a reraise will fold out both villains too often. Reraising flop as a default, reraise to $1200 and get it in. Any heart can kill your action or your hand. There are 16 combos of 54 but you still have 32% equity. 6 combos of sets are drawing dead to you. Lots of FDs and combo FDs they could have. UTG+3 could have an overpair

How many callers? What's the size of the pot OTF? How is the straddler playing?

If our Villain is firing multiple barrels with a wide range (despite pots being big) then flatting isn't horrible, as long as you know your necessary odds to draw to a FH and can release. (It's sorta a common saying in NL that when you're 200bbs deep you have to be able to fold a set), but that's mostly for later streets. A raise OTF would be standard, but since you have a very tight I image I may take a flat line here, otherwise you might not be able to get called by enough worse hands. Honestly your reads are too vague here for me to make a proper analysis, so I'd recommend raising to $1k and betting all turn cards or GII.

Need a calling range pre for straddler (ATC? Loose passive or loose aggro? etc). IMO raise/gii the board is too drawy and a lot of turns kill our action.

I reraise to $1,000. Straddler who plays any 2 and is willing to gamble says I will gamble with you and goes all in. I've played with him many times and he bets all draws and slow plays the nuts so I'm pretty confident he doesn't have 45. UTG+3 thinks for a while and folds. I call.

He asks if I want to run it twice/twice and I agree since the pot is so big. He ends up winning both. He had 82. The guy next to me that folded said he had a flush draw too and would have gambled with me if the straddler didn't so I was going broke either way.

Definately a cooler but I just wanted to see if anyone advocated just calling the flop and waiting for a safe card before playing for stacks. Thanks!

no, you played it fine. I may have raised a little less to bring UTG3 along. $800 leaves a reasonable $1150 shove on the turn.

Come on bro, never waiting for a "safe card" in this spot. Especially against villains u described. I'd be happier the deeper I was. If they're anything like the standard aggro villain we play with locally (you know who I'm talking about) then this is a fist pump get it in on the flop. They're most likely never folding any kind of strong draw now but might get away if you just flat and they brick the turn. These are the spots dreams are made of. Guy thinks he's live with his pair+FD. Lmfao. Pm me location bro. Lol.
Anyways well played. Just unlucky bro. Don't be results oriented.
