Both CO and Button are loose, tight BB. I haven't played a hand yet except for limping early in level 1 with a mid PP that was folded. This seems playable to me but not sure how. Push? Raise 3xbb? or fold?

Personally I'd fold with that stack, unless the blinds were going up in the next hand or two.

I usually fold this, but if you play it, I raise to 150. Problem is if CO and Button are loose, they are probably pushing with any hand that is good in their eyes. Then you're playing for most of your stack.

Also what about the huge SB?

Yea, I push if the blinds are going to go up before I have to post again, fold if they aren't.

I didn't comment on the large SB stack because OP didn't provide a read. But it is definitely a consideration.

Re: ($10) Is this playable and how? A9s
 

I fold.

Yeah I was asking OP. Just have on flat view so I usually reply to whoever posted last.

I like this line. Though your stack would indicate that a 3xBB raise could be appropriate, it puts you in an awkward position especially if the people left to act are loose and likely to play. I would only play it if the blinds were about to go up.
