No limpers and no cold callers?
And the two players to my left are decent players?
I'm getting up and finding a better table!

I'm new... so I'm probably wrong, but...

It seems to me that if he's only slightly loose, we could be facing an expensive loss if he's got AK-AQ-AA. If he was a maniac, raising every hand, that would be a different story.

If I was in this spot, I would fold.

he's only slightly loose limping, but he raises 14% of his hands, now consider that he is first to act in middle/late position. He is going to be willing to raise more hands then he would in early position. So, we don't value his raise as much, and no way can we say, he must have AK or AQ.

If he was a tight 15/8 guy, then maybe we could muck it.

Does that make sense?

Yes, that makes perfect sense. I'm not yet at a level of keeping stats on other players, so that stuff is going over my head for now.

I just keep mental notes, LAG, TAG, Maniac, Rock, etc. The more I think about it, if I had him pegged as a LAG, I would probably 3-bet after all. I guess it was the "slightly" in slighty loose that made me nervous.

Edit:
About the folding to a cap stuff...

If we 3-bet, don't we have enough invested at this point to call 4 and see the flop, with the understanding that top pair is not going to win it. Wrong thinking?

AJo is easily a favorite vs a loose agg player in late position.

I reraise for value and to get the blinds out. Since they're decent, they are folding most things that they arent capping. If a blind open-caps or cold calls three, I know I need to make a hand.

If I get HU, I may be able show down UI.
