MP is very loose fish, raise first in 27/47

CO is a pretty aggressive reg, 3betting 10%, so I expect his flatting range pre to be pretty weak, bc he would iso the fish pre a lot

confused by CO's smallish lead on flop, kinda looks like some KQJT or medium strength pair+fd type hand?
pretty deep here, should we respond with aggression or proceed cautiously with our hand?

Honestly I avoid getting involved in these kind of situations. There are 4 turn cards we like a bunch we hate and a bunch of bricks. CO might be over agreasive but he's leading into you after you 3bet pre on a fairly connected flop.

if CO knows MP is a fish, he would def lead his strong hands here to get value. so, K9, 99 and KK, some type of nfd+gutshot or nfd+top pair type hands.

I think it would be better to just call here and play some turns.

I also like a call here

It doesn't make lots of sense for CO to lead sets and you're doing really well vs K9.
The issue with calling is RIO for our 2nd NFD and poor visibility so I prolly r/c.

Call. You have position, now use it to your advantage. If he has the nut flush draw and it hits on the turn and you are forced to pay him off, well, that´s poker. Otherwise I think a raise will fold out most hands we want to keep in/keep (semi)bluffing turn but seldom get any of the hands that we are in trouble against to fold.

Can I ask what we do in this spot if OR 4bets? I struggle with my 3b range and I'd like to improve here. I feel like I'm missing value by not 3b my strong hands enough.

A lead is perfectly reasonable here, this flop isn't particularly good for AA and with the fish in the pot cutoff doesn't want you checking back. I don't think we can read too much into CO's play, all we really know is its not pure air.

A raise is fine, but it seems like there's plenty of play left behind and we don't really need to remove the fish from the pot so I prefer a call.
