BB is TAG. 22/7/1.75 AF over 600 hands. Not very tricky, though his preflop standards are a bit wider.
Button is a bit looser. Over 250 hands, he's 46/21. Postflop his aggression lightens up - not one to make big bets with no hand, but capable of bluffing. Loves the min-raise preflop to take it down postflop with a small bet.
Preflop ranges: min-re-raise from the button probably means a playable hand. He might be trying to set up a postflop steal from me here, but it seems unlikely since I've raised UTG. I have been playing tight and shown no bluffs. Probably a big pair or AQ+ (suited or not).
Cold call by BB threw me off. He probably would not enter the pot without JJ+, AK.. but with deep stacks perhaps his range would be wider. I think he would reraise with aces or kings here because I get a cheap price to outdraw him.
Not sure what line to take postflop - looking for suggestions.
My bets have been getting respect but I can't find a good way to get all the money in once the BB leads. He has at least an overpair here, though I would think he would reraise preflop with kings or aces, so a set is not out of the question.
Is raising the flop out of the question? With 100BBs it would be a fairly easy push but still the overbet looks like a draw more than a hand to me. Should I be happy to get my entire stack in the middle, if all three of us get the money in? Should I call a push from either, if it gets to be HU?
