Full ring (9). 2/5.

Hero: BB with $1450
UTG Player - Moved to my left a bit ago. Has been splashy, loose, mixed aggression. Has been up and down. Currently about $1500
Middle Position (MP) - New to the table, comes into the pot for raises. About $600

Hero: BB
Player UTG raises to $25.
MP calls $25.
Folds to Hero: 67s.
Hero calls.

Flop comes 456 rainbow.
Hero Checks.
UTG bets $75
MP raises $150.

Hero??

UTG could have anything. He was relatively loose. I picked up $600 from him on a flush board (I had the A high, he had Q high). I put him on overcards.

MP was aggressive, but only say him a few hands.
With the reraise, I am thinking he has a range of 10+, AJ+.

Do you fold, call or raise?

Deep game. I don't generally like calling a raise OOP with a speculative hand like 67s, but given how deep the game is, maybe it's OK.

AP, any of the flop cards your suit?

How do you have MP on AJ+ (aka, two overs, no pair, no draw) with a min-raise OTF?

Not going to comment beyond that as I saw results. Please don't post them for at least 24 hours.

Preflop is rather thin out of the blinds, not something you should do on a regular basis but not bad. As played it's a fold. MP says he is willing to play for stacks and your draw isn't worth that much against him.

If you knew that MP likes to make weak min raises to find out where he stands making it $400 wouldn't be out of the question. But sets/straights/two pair are more likely for an unknown.

My hand was entirely speculative. Having nearly felted the BB earlier, I knew he could get stuck on his hand.

The MP player was an unknown, but having position, he seemed like it wasn’t beyond him to test the water. It was a relatively common occurrence on this table in the time he was there. Someone would bet, a little raise and everyone folds.

One of the cards was my suit on the flop.

In looking at the flop, I was thinking I was in a coin-flip situation but had the BB behind me. I could hit two pair, backdoor flush, or the straight.

I don't think raising makes sense, especially since we'd want UTG to come in as well so we make more when we hit our draw.

I'd continue w/ a call, there's a good chance we are good when we make two pair or trips & obvi good when the straight comes. In addition to the BDF equity.

If you truly believe the range you gave, you have 69% equity against it

this is why playing marginal hands OOP is super hard.
so we smooth call with the allure of easy money and suited connectors.
Don't look now , we smash the flop.
top pair open ended straight draw yet we struggle now that we are on the felt.
when we drew it up in the preflop game plan could anything better than 776 on the flop been in our dreams.
we are multi-way stuck in the middle forced to make a decision and we might be playing for stacks with 7 high. what do we do if the loose UTG aggressor re-raises.
given his history we want to be dueling with The Splash with premiums not 7 high.
fold pre.
as played I would be struggling internally with I smashed the flop I may have to play for stacks and I have no idea where im at sandwiched between these two loose ags.
as much I hate folding I do it.
