OP on Low Flop with Gut Shot Draw

[pokerbo]

Button is very loose, played nearly every pot so far, his flop percentage is 55% and his stack has been up and down like a yo yo.

Sorry but for some reason convertor never seems to work for me, I deleted (Texas) and set to 2+2 but still no joy??

Anyway regarding the hand, what would be your next move on the turn, the pot is now $114 and we both have $80 left, I'm completely lost here as villian/button is such a loose player.

It seems to me that he's on a draw, but could easy be trapping with an already made straight??

Raise to 4BB here. Villain will probably either call or maybe even raise. Either way, blinds probably fold.

Not sure about this. You got BB to fold out, but if you were already planning to raise to 40, why not do it after BB and give villain a chance to fold too?

If you're just calling BB, then I would probably just call villain's raise here and plan to make a large bet on a turn blank.

Its hard to see how the 3s really helped villain. Even someone that loose doesn't get this far on only an backdoor flush draw.

As played, I probably bet at least $50 or just push, although I'm not really happy about it. If you had raised BB on the flop and villain cold-called anyway, we could be more confident about his possible holdings. As it played out, he was getting close to 5:1 on his $25 call and so was probably correct to call with many hands.

With a T7o? Is he really that loose?

Its always hard to tell with these guys, but my guess is that he was holding K7, A7, or an overcard-ten. It doesn't help that you have this guy on your left; I much prefer to have him on the right so that I can raise to isolate.
