Table: $1/$2, 8-handed. Game has been running from 7pm till the time of the hand (2:30am). Quite deep-stacked. Constant live straddles ranging from $5-$10. Hero has a solid TAG image and has built up a stack despite a few suckouts in ALL-IN pre hands.

Villain 1: highschool friend of mine. We discuss poker regularly. I consider V1 a better player than me (at nlhe at least), and he probably thinks quite poorly of my game. V1 and me have ALOT of history, i think he views me as quite weak-tight, and too nitty. V1 starts hand with $1k

Villain 2: one of the guys who are running the homegame. Definition of a bad LAG, very much an aggro monkey, as well as a huge whale. Has been running quite well to have a $800 stack at start of hand.

Hand: UTG straddles for $7. Hero (starts with $750) raises to $20 with 99, folded to V2 on BTN who calls, V1 in SB 3bets to $70, straddler overcalls, Hero calls, V2 calls.

Flop: 876 (pot: $283).

V1 bets $40. Straddler folds, Hero calls. V2 raises to $160. V1 folds. Hero??

Is it nitty of me to want to fold this pre? Especially if villain who sees you as nitty still wants to stack off to your raise?

As played, you need around 20% equity to call which you easily have. And V2 is an aggro monkey.

based on reads it's a call.

PF, based on dynamic, I consider it a little nitty to want to fold pre.

Folding pre seems gross with 375BB eff stacks, straddler overcalling 3b, V2 very unlikely to 4b, and V1 likely to have a big pair.

Alternative lines on flop? I was contemplating shoving flop over V1 cbet, though im not sure if V1 folds AA to massive shove. against V2 im not too sure, shoving over his raise seems bad (isolating me against his nut range where i might not have all my straight outs and possibly set outs), though folding against V2 seems pretty bad too. Call and c/f bricked turn terrible?
