    Default How do I play this when I know the guy ahead is going all-in

    This has been on my mind for the last week and I am hoping for some feedback.

    Playing in a 1/2 NL homegame.

    I am on the button with K-Qs. UTG raises to $10 ( he has raised his last 11 hands anywhere from $2-$25 and the best thing he has shown is A-6 offsuit. Can you say LAg? Played with him numerous before and he is a total maniac). One other calls before me, I call, SB calls.

    Flop: K-5-3 rainbow.

    SB checks, UTG raises $10, guy folds, I get ready to re-raise when the SB announces that he thinks UTG is full of shit and it going to put him all-in (about $50).

    I look at SB for a second and ask him if it is ok for me to act first. He apologizes, says he forgot I was in the hand, and the action is now on me.

    SB is also a pretty loose-aggressive player, but in a more controlled way (if that makes sense). He reads people fairly well and likes to come over the top with his junk when he senses hesitation/weakness (although I think he knew UTG would probably call because he usually does with his nothing.) At this point he has about $140 before making any calls/pushing the guy in and I have around $200. I am not too worried that UTG has a good hand.

    What is my move?

    What a brutal home game. I push all in there and make him call me. No re-raise means you can rule out AK. The fact that he told you he thinks UTG was Full of shit means he obviously is just going to throw the hammer down and isn't betting for value. I would say your hand is good and you should put both of them to the test with a hefty all in.
