Tough spot w/ top 2

[jumbojacks]

MP is 70/15/1 and no other reads except that he's a pretty poor player. UTG is a loose aggressive player and isn't aware of position. Likes to raise almost any two anywhere, though he's pretty passive postflop.

any reason why you didnt raise the flop? I feel like id get stacked here. i dont know if thats bad though.

I would probably lead or cr flop to isolate the maniac, don't let utg tag along. You are getting about 2-1 , I think this is an insta call. He could have a lot of hands that you beat.

I kinda dislike the way you played this hand. I think raising the flop was a much better option than raising the turn. I think I call as well, but I dislike it.

I think you must raise the flop. There are 8 cards you wouldn't want to see on the turn (aces and tens). As played, I would lead the turn. That weak bet on the flop many times signals a weak hand and you certainly don't want it checked through. The turn is a real problem. If villain is poor because he overvalues hands then calling is fine. But I think villain has no less than two pair here. With that AF, i doubt he is doing this with combo-draws. BTW, given your read of UTG, I think leading the flop is better than check/raising.

you're behind 9T and AT. (and sets, but unlikely) vs these 2 villains i want to b/3bai this flop. if you see T9/AT then its a cooler and you move on
