K10 suited squeezing a straddle vs super aggressive loose player
another hand from a tough table last night button straddle for 7$ is on
V1(955$) very good regular that 3-bets and 4-bets confidently and makes disciplined folds
V2 (355$)splashy 30s woman plays pretty TAG style but can bluff from time to time.
V3 (1100$)loose aggressive lucky maniac has been on non stop heaters showed down little flushes on big boards 4 times already.
Hero is playing very tight not many hands except from button where range is opening wider but not being overly aggressive as the table is pretty aggressive and splashy.
Hero Kd10d button 410$
V1 in Sb calls, V2 UTG calls, V3 CO calls, Hero 40$
calls around
Flop Kh2c10h (pot 160$)
sb opens for 15$, call, call, call, Hero 165$ folds around to V3 in cut off he asks if I want action I just say whatever you want to do man your money. V3 Calls.
Turn Ah (pot $490)
V3 Jams, Hero?

You are super short in this game, like only just over 50 straddles deep.
Not sure if we should fold pre. or maybe limp, if raising I'd go bigger.
Flop raise should probably be bigger, although it's hard to pick a size that isn't all of it. Maybe best to just shove.
Turn is the worst card in the deck, probably a fold without reads that V is calling flop with like JT assuming you have AK and will donk shove any scary turn (this part is likely). Speech play maybe indicates that he's calling wide, but that could be like terrible flush draws or even like AT.
Sets are much better calls, as is like KxQh which you should probably raise on flop ... less sure about KxJh.
As a shorty, I don't see the point of straddling the BTN against this lineup.
Oof.
When a loose action player asks if we want action, I tend to think it's a marginal hand that could go either way between calling or folding. Here, that would seem to be QJ for an OESD, a heart draw, or maybe occasionally worse Kx. Doubtful he suddenly decides to jam worse Kx on the Ah, so he more than likely had a straight or flush draw that got there.
Pre-flop raise size seems okay with the $7 straddle on. That flop raise size seems a tad big maybe, because we're leaving ourselves less than a PSB going to the turn. Think I might go $105, or just jam, rather than try to guess what to do with $205 left and $490 in the pot.
As played, I mean...we only have $205 left, and we're getting 3.4 to 1. We have four outs to boat up, which is like 8%-ish. Maybe if V has bluffs or worse value in his range, we could call, but that seems pretty unlikely here, unless V is capable of playing off his image and truly give zero f**ks about looking like an idiot if we snap him off.
Then again, if he's a true maniac, maybe he does have some bluffs in him, and we should call.
