Hello, here my question is more like a general one. The entire table was pretty loose, calling, 3betting and going all-in with garbage hands and the players who entered the pot were amongst the loosest on the table. So my question is when you have such players who already entered the pot, should you raise standard with hands such as AT+, 77-TT when you know that there is a 90% chance that they are going to call and then its more likely that you don't hit, or is it better to just call to see if you hit and bet for value?

The problem with 3 betting here with AJo that you make the pot a lot bigger and it’s not to likely you get to often HU here and playing OOP in a big pot isn’t great as well with AJo. So I would call or make a tight fold pre-flop. It’s better I think that the fish will make huge mistakes against each other or against you and play big pots IP with decent hands.

As played it’s a standard fold.

Cheers,

What about pushing all-in and getting calls from hands like KJ or maybe even weaker? Is it worth the risk? I mean against 66+, A9s+, ATo+, KJ+ we get 46% equity and they'll fold in majority of cases anyway.
