$22 Tourney, Gutshot with overs

[badgers]

Raised preflop to isolate against loose player, 32/11/1, but a lot of that sample size is not when he has a large stack and he seems to have loosened up considerably.

Is it a good idea to try and isolate with a marginal hand vs. the big stack here? What's the best preflop play?
I know I need to shove the flop after his raise, but should I have cbet in the first place or taken a free card?

Thanks

It's fine if he sucks.

No, the c-bet is terrible. Don't c-bet flops that hit limp-callers' ranges like a bulls-eye, especially if you're in position and have outs.

Ok, thnx for quick and clear reply. He did suck, I could easily see him doubling me up w/ hands I dominate here, and he was aggressive enough to raise AK/AQ so I felt fairly safe. I guess I should have read the board and understood ranges better on the flop, especially vs. two opps. Lesson learnt, ty mcatdog (congrats on recent wins btw)

10 outs on the flop.. about 40%
