10/20 live AK - decisionmaking at the turn
Live 10/20 at Borgata 12/2/05, game is insanely loose. Hero's image is tighter than most everyone at the table, not that most players are even thinking much about that.
BB in this hand is very loose pre-flop and loose/semi-passive postflop. He's shown down TPNK many times when clearly beat, and appears to not be thinking about much beyond his own hand. LP player is loose, crazy, and a funny guy. He'll 3-bet sometimes PF with 8 high just for kicks. He takes great pride in running people's aces down (which he's done several times already), and is sitting with a stack of about $2K -- 4x his initial buy in. The fact that he's running so hot has him sticking around in many hands he's got no business calling in. That said, when he is undeniably beat with few outs to win, he will fold on occasion.

BB bets, Hero...
I tend to think this is an easy raise, but a 2+2er who (for reasons of sounding horribly weaktight IMO) in the game (sitting out of the hand) discussed the hand with me later on and said Hero should've called with an intention of getting an overcall from LP and then re-evaluating on the river... either calling there or raising unless something seriously strange happens. Your thoughts?
