Default Re: Very confusing hand

The best read came from the button who was a loose raiser so his 3 bet did not concern me much.

SSHE specifically warns (page 85) about KJs against a re-raise and while you claim you did not respect the Button's re-raise, what about the original raiser? You claim UTG+1 is a solid tight player, and he is raising UTG+1 and you are gonna call this one because you have a small discount and the table is loose, but your discount disappears, UTG+1 could cap it and the pot will get so big you cannot get away. I may have weak tight tendancies, but playing a likely dominated hand, out of position for 2.5SB is not my idea of comfortable. I fold this pre-flop and wait until the Button raises an unraised pot and then 3-bet with looser than normal 3-bet holdings to isolate him. You have great position at the table, but not for this hand.
