Default I don\'t know how to play this. AQs 3-bet from MP.

EP raises and I assign him a wide range of big suited cards and pairs. 99+ KT+

I 3-bet AdQd.

SB is kinda crazy. He caps. He would probably cap a pair bigger than 44.
I'm not sure if he would cap with a random hand. Maybe 10% of the time he would cap with a random hand.

Flop: 8s 6s 3c

SB bets, EP calls.

My action? (if I call SB will bet again. Not sure what EP would do with a hand like KJ. I think he will call with an A.)

What do you guys think about cold calling pre-flop?

3-betting is superior to coldcalling preflop. Isolate with better hand, get it HU, take the lead.

SB sounds like a LAG or maniac. Doesn't seem like the type to give you a free card should you raise the flop. I'd just peel and see what the turn brings. I also don't think raising to get EP to fold will work.

I see that I have equity two ways:
1) SB bets a worse hand and EP folds, I call and SB doesn't improve.
2) I spike an A or Q and no one has AK+

If situation #1 happens 10% of the time.
and I have an adjusted ~4 outs that 4/47 = 8.5% so a little less than ~18% equity because both events might happen at the same time.
I'm calling 1 bet to win 14. So I should call.

But SB will fold a complete bluff where as I will call down with A high so I have worse implied odds than the pots odds show.

any thoughts on how to cacluate this more accuratly?

peel one off and fold the turn unimproved. board likely helped no one so your 6 outs are probably live.
