AKQ97
5-10-20 plo. V in utg buys in min, is very loose and moderately aggro. He started the hand with 500
Hero in str with AKQ97ds to the A and Q
Pre: everyone limps hero checks. I typically don’t raise much out of straddle
Flop (140) : AT8r both bdfd
2 checks hero checks, V bets 75, only bb and hero call
Turn (365) : 3ss not our fd
Checks around
River (365) : Qx
Check hero checks V bets 200, folds to hero

Gotta raise pre. You’re well ahead of their ranges, a few guys will fold which adds dead money and with that many limps you will meaningfully reduce the SPR postflop which decreases your positional disadvantage.
Not raising pre is a fundamental misunderstanding of the games dynamics and something you should dig deeper into.
I would raise pre here, especially on straddle if you are BTN, but hand is confusing. How does V act last UTG? What position are you?
Well, if it is a straddle, it is not a blind and vice versa 😉 Also if V is UTG, how does he act last on flop?
I was 3rd and he was 4th.
I am so confused. Regardless, raise pre. As played, I just fold.
I might pop the flop depending on BB.
****. I confused myself. LOL. Still raising pre. As played probably popping it on flop. Folding river.
Before all the confusion I'm potting it pre, after all the confusion I'm still potting it pre. Would guess you should do so against reasonable ranges, let alone live ranges. Not doing so is leaving a decent chunk of ev on the table.
Postflop looks pretty standard to me, not sure what decision you're most looking for help on but it's definitely preflop where you might benefit from re-examining your ideas a little
