am I the only one that's worried that BB might have a better hand than ours?

The BB is a superloose and aggressive player, so her hand range is basically random. You might be able to remove some non-connecting offsuit cards below 9 from her range. This type of player is probably capping most offsuit connectors, any suited cards, any pair, any big cards, and any ace.

If we don't raise the turn, then obviously we fold it. Personally, I would have folded PF. The way the hand played, I would have folded the turn. There's a good chance that button himself is waiting for the turn to raise, in addition to the fact that we may be badly beaten by crazy BB.

If you aren't raising this anywhere, then fold the flop (I also agree with the pf fold, btw). The point of this play is specifically to push button off a bigger A. We basically know that we're behind against the button's 3-betting range. Given that we called the flop, and button only called the flop, a turn raise is practically mandatory here. If the button was waiting until the turn to raise with overcards, then she will surely fold at this point (the T also acts as a bit of a scare card, especially if OP's stealing range is big). If the button was waiting to raise with an overpair, then we were in trouble anyway, and she'll either 3-bet or CC the turn, and you won't be putting any more bets into the pot.

Remeber the reads: BB is maniac and button is weaktight. Raising is the right play here. The question is whether it's better on the flop or turn.
