JTs coldcall

The only street that is questionable IMO is preflop. After the dream flop the hand pretty much played itself. What does everyone think of my preflop decision? Too loose? I played this hand a few days ago so my reads are a little vague. However the preflop raiser seemed solid but the cold callers were the loose donkey type. Also, I did expect to get at least one other call behind me because the table was nice and loose. Thoughts???

The only scary part is having it 3-bet behind you, and not having as good a position as the button could hurt you if you decide to call.

I would probably call, especially if there were loose players behind me.

Yea I was worried about that but decided to go ahead and make the call. If it does get three bet cap for value?

I think folding preflop would be a clear mistake.

This is fine.

it's okay. JTs is a hand made for multiway action. if it hits the flop it often plays well with others. for this reason you really want more callers, capping would not only discourage them, it would not be smart as JTs usually will not hit the flop dominantly often enough to stand up by itself as say, top pair because it is often outdrawn as top pair or reverse dominated.
