what about leading like 1/4 to 1/3 pot? that might freeze him up with QQ and get you a cheap turn.

i like that.. maybe firing like 125 or somethign at it could get me a v cheap turn and a chance to stack off something i would have had to get it in behind against if i decided to pot call or check shove the flop. any other thoughts on this? holla

I don't mind it at all as a rare alternate, but as standard, with these stacks, I think it is spewing. Playing big pots out of position sucks, and you IMO you are not deep enough to justify this as a deception play for this hand. You already have a loose image you say, so there is a better than usual chance you have to hit to win (unless you don't think your loose image extends to reraises in gereral or reraises out of the blinds in particular).

The effective stack sizes here seem awkward to me. I keep running through possible lines and outcomes, and they all suck except lead - fold - fold. The problem is your pfrr seriously hurts the folding equity a check raise would have I think. Betting could take down the pot right now, but it likely won't; that is a pretty dry board, and you have a loose image (and there is likely a made hand at least in the BB, who's stack is shortest of the three of you, bad combination).

I think the play is probably just to shove the flop. That gives you the most folding equity, tilt equity if someone calls and you hit, and is not bad for your image if you get looked up and lose, provided you make good adjustments.
