PokerStars: Hold'em No Limit ($0.01/$0.02 USD)
BTN (48.5 bb) Hero: SB (100 bb) BB (72.5 bb) UTG (145 bb) EP2 (155.5 bb) EP3 (76 bb) MP1 (15 bb) MP2 (93.5 bb) CO (96.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 3♦ 3♠
UTG raises to 2.5 bb, fold, EP3 calls, 4 folds, Hero calls, BB calls

Flop: (10 bb) 2♣ 5♥ A♦
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG checks, EP3 checks

Turn: (10 bb) 4♦
Hero?

In this session I saw these guys call some pretty cray-cray bets, so I wanted to profit from it as well. With not much info on your opponents, except for the table being quite loose in general, how much would you guys bet?

Around 3/4 pot seems fine. Against really fishy players a over bet is a option as well I think.

7-8 BB should be optimal.

11bb, making it look like a bluff sometimes works with cray cray opponents

You block the only worse hand at the moment (63)
Ax hands are highly likely and will call.
Sets would most likely have bet already

So 3 out of 4 replies favour 3/4 pot or so, and that makes sense -- we don't want anyone to fold here.
I would save the overbet for any river that isn't a diamond and doesn't pair the board

Bizarre hand? Post it in Hand of the Day!!
