SB is a 83/58/20 over 88 hands and UTG 80/15/23.5 over 41. They are both at war with eachother. I stacked UTG later KK vs QQ pre and pretty much abused his stack over the session. I have a note on him, he donk pots flop with air and continues on turn + river with 1/2 bets.
Anyway, they play ridiculously loose.

SB: $6.67
BB: $10.00
UTG: $31.12
CO: $10.00
Hero (BTN): $37.79

Pre Flop: ($0.15) Hero is BTN with A :heart: J :heart:
UTG calls $0.10, 1 fold, Hero raises to $0.50, SB calls $0.45, 1 fold, UTG calls $0.40

Flop: ($1.60) 2 :spade: T :diamond: J :spade: (3 players)
SB bets $1.52, UTG calls $1.52, Hero raises to $6, SB raises to $6.17, UTG calls $4.65, Hero calls $0.17

Turn: ($20.11) 6 :club: (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $7.00, UTG folds

River: ($20.11) 3 :diamond: (2 players)

Questions: should I iso bigger pre?
is the flop raise size ok or can I go bigger?
on the turn, are you b/f?

Hi,

Since you´re ip I think preflop is fine. I would generally isolate 4bb, but 5bb is also fine (especially if you don´t expect someone to 3-bet with worse hands). Postflop you very likely have to make pair to win bigger pot, so I would rather not build too big pot preflop.

Postflop seems standard. I like your flop raise size- you´re not going to fold tptk against them, so you can raise 4x against SB raise and play for his stacks.

I would bet turn 13$ and then likely would consider taking free showdown. 7$ bet seems a little small and you should protect yourself against draws. Since 6 is complete blank I likely can´t b/f, but generally I would not expect UTG to c/rai too often.

best regards,
