ATs, played passively, but I think correctly

This table had gotten pretty loose preflop. I don't like coldcalling 2 very often, but I did it twice here, I think correctly both times. Comments?

not crazy about the preflop call, i think that you should give more respet to UTG/EP raises...rest is ok...

I disagree. I think, given the loose table, the call is fine pre-flop. However, I would have come back and re-raised on the flop.

I usually muck this preflop here.

I 3-bet the flop, you have position and a nutflushdraw against 2 players. Coldcalling wont keep SB in, but rather give your hand away, though they probably wont notice.
You will very often get a free card on the turn this way.
