Notes on villian :

-loose caller
-completed 95o @ 75/150 blinds

30 VPIP

Me :

- I've been pretty much the only one raising preflop, I've shown down 44 after raising once. I've also reraised another player preflop without showing down preflop. Postflop I have been fairly aggressive

33 VPIP for 75/150 (5 handed)

UTG :

- Only reason why I limped is because he was a really tight player and I thought he could be trapping

What is his range of hands? Flop bet ok or needs to be bigger?

I want to play this faster on the flop. I bet 500-600 on the flop with 750 in the pot. Anything less and you give opp odds to draw to the flush (if that's what he has).

When the heart hits on the turn I lay it down. Yes it's possible that he's just repping the flush with a weak ace but if he's loose he might have called you with AT, A3, A2 etc and is betting in case you have a heart. If you fold here you still have a very nice stack, and it sounds like you're the table captain in any case - 3 blind steals and you've got your 600 chips back.

I come in for a raise preflop or stay the F- out.
The more people in the pot the worse, I dont like family pots with a hand like this. I get cracked way to much.

A hand like AK,AQ, AJ improves with less people in pot.

While a drawing hand like suitor connectors's and small pockets improve with more people in pot.

I think you still have to raise preflop here. If the UTG comes back over the top then you can assume he is being sneaky with a big hand and lay it down. I pop it up to around 600 pf.

As for the flop I agree with taipan and raise a bit more to around 600, get the draws outta there.

As for the turn, ehh.. I probably fold. You might be behind and still have a decent stack.
