Line Check against an Extreme Loose/Aggro

[Vinterriket]

SB has been incredibly loose and aggressive this game so far. He's raised 10x BB preflop with A5o, raised 3x pot on a gutshot straight draw, etc. Overbets every hand.

I had no clue what to do in this hand:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (7 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

SB (t5045)
Hero (t5337)
UTG (t4250)
MP1 (t2368)
MP2 (t2765)
CO (t595)
Button (t4720)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T, 8.
1 fold, MP1 calls t150, 3 folds, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t450) 6, 8, 7 (3 players)

poke386: bets 1200
Hero: ???

Put it up to 600 and see what he does. If he flat calls or raises I'd put him on a flush draw or straight draw most times, and a mid-bottom pair sometimes. I'd usually be willing to try to get as many chips into the pot as possible on this flop with your read on him.

he bet 1200, so even a minraise is 1/2 my stack

he bet 1200, so even a minraise is 1/2 my stack

My apologies, I read it as 200.

With your read I go ahead and put all my chips in or minraise to entice an all in - your goal is to get everything in ASAP, if he folds you win a big mother of a pot, if he calls you are ahead so often and are possibly flipping at worst against a flush draw with 2 overs.

Worst case scenario in my opinion is this:

fold!! omg. you have t150 in pot, its 7 handed, you have a nice stack.If he's that bad you will have his stack eventually. don't get caught up and become the sheriff.

I disagree with thnwkd. That bet is ridiculous, it's a ridiculous play from a loose aggressive player, you have top pair (which I read as likely not good here), but your straight draw, flush draw, and at least 2 more outs which probably are good. I put him on 87, 76, 66, 77, or 88 overprotecting his draw.

this is the reason why playing a laggy game is so effective, because opponents will always think their marginal hand is better than anything you have. later in the tourny i make a move, not here, it just not worth it. his bet may be rediculous but its perfect considering his image.
