PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 27 Tournament, 10/20 Blinds (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

saw flop

MP1 (t1610)
MP2 (t1490)
MP3 (t1430)
CO (t1460)
Button (t1530)
SB (t1620)
Hero (BB) (t1440)
UTG (t1500)
UTG+1 (t1420)

Hero's M: 48.00

Preflop: Hero is BB with K

, A

5 folds, CO bets t80, 1 fold, SB calls t70, Hero raises to t300, CO calls t220, 1 fold

Flop: (t680) 6

, 6

, 4

(2 players)
Hero bets t444, CO raises to t1120, Hero raises to t1140 (All-In), CO calls t20

Villain is a random a bit loose, about 22/12.
SB is a total donk.
So I guess a 3bet the best option against non-reg players.
But how would you play the flop?

Like 3bet and sizing pre, but I just check/fold your bet almost always folds out worse and he's not going any where with a pair/decent draw. This guy probably defends/folds too much but it sucks so bad to get flatted/shoved on here that it's not worth it to me

this sorta flop/spot is why i hate 3betting AK with this sorta stack size without reads.

Does anyone want to flat here and look to get it in with top pair only? OPs play feels like way too much variance to take on in level 1, but I'm willing to see how I'm wrong.

I don't like 3 bet b/c of pot size and stack sizes if he flats PF, so I just flat and stack off with TPTK.

As played either b/c of c/f, leaning towards c/f

I would C/R AI to maximize our FE, we're really repping QQ+ by doing so.

agreed raising preflop is just horrible because you wont hit most of the times and are forced to check-fold against a opponent who is very likely not going away from a small pp here.

I prefer just to call prelfop and see a flop or to shove which is really aggressive and maybe a bit to early.
