Hi M2d,

I like your reasons #1 and #2 very much. I would occasionally let BB in if I am sure he is more of an asset than a detriment, but most of the time, I would 3-bet a loose raiser (steal-raise possibility) and let BB decide his own demise. This is especially true when you are out of position like this one. I don't think reason #3 is too relevant. You only have one opponent, and he either flops a monster or he doesn't.

Since you didn't raise out BB, I would check-raise the flop. You have BB's money, now he needs to let himself out. Lead on the turn afterwards. Assuming he has an ace, he either has you with a king kicker, or he's way behind. You need to make the most out of your hand and not give them a chance to check behind.
