Playing in the $75 bankroll builder @ MD Live. ~100 entries. 90 players left. Second level with blinds at 100/200 with 200 BB ante. Hero is mid 20's entitled white male. Starting stack is 10k with 5k add on. Hero is in the SB. Villain is chip leader at the table with ~25k. Hero has been playing loose and won a 10k pot with 10,3 off after turning two pair and getting paid off by loose mid 30's guy on the river with a pot sized bet. Villain (mid 20's white male) has been playing LAG and recently KO'd an older lady with 2,5 off after flopping trips from the BB and got full value from aces up. Back to the action. 3 limpers call 200, including villain on button, and I raise to 1000 with two black aces from the SB. BB folds. The villain on button says "I have to call now" after the two other guys flat the 1000. Question here: is that raise too small? What would you bet here? The two other people in the pot are mid 40's. One is tight passive (with ~15k) and the other is aggro and has only 9k behind due to failed bluffs on two previous hands. Do you ever just jam here?

Flop is 7,6,2 all clubs. Hero leads for 3500 into 4400. I don't like this bet sizing after reflecting on the hand. To me it screams overpair and trying to protect said big pair. What are your thoughts on this sizing? Do you ever check here? One guy folds, short stack calls leaving him with 4500 behind. Kinda strange. Villain on button announces "all in." I snap call. Not in love with this snap call. Didn't even think about the possible hands villain could have. Im risking ~17500 to win 46,400. My equity is ~32% against a flush, ~35% against trips, 52% against two pair. What do you do here? Will reveal villains hand in comments but wanted to get some feedback on preflop sizing and leading on the flop. Really curious to see what you guys think. Thanks in advance.

Just check/call here lol. You could prob size up pre flop with all the loose action especially considering your image.

you need to size up way more preflop with ante as 1 big blind and deep stacks and having bad position.

AP I dont mind cbet multiway, I dont mind folding out some of villian equity here as they can likely be wide and have heaps straight draw type hands like 910,89,85,54,35 or pocket pairs so there is some dangerous turns for us.

Obv not folding to jam when we have put in half our stack and have n f draw

I am confused about the chip count - did you have 17500 on the flop? Or 17,5K was your entire stack before the spot? If the second is right, your are not risking, what you've already put into pot, only what you had before allin call.
If you had 17,5K to call allin, regardless the math, if you fold, you would have still 88BB

Preflop I 'd bet min 1200, may be 1500. Then the flop pot would be probably lower (may only one caller). Regardless if you had 88BB or 100+BB before the spot, it is second level, you are quite deep stack, I'd prefer x/call on flop.

V is LAG, limp/call would be something what play good in mw: small pairs, suited con and some unsuited con., may be suited AX hands. He could have on flop trips and he could have sd. He can't have Ac fd, may be fd+ with hands as 87/98/T9/JT/QJ.
