3/6 Unprotecting Straddler

[R18A1I4]

Loose table, not totally passive but little pre-flop 3-bets... typical live game mostly. Guy straddles whenever he's winning but rarely protects against raise. And I mean rarely; he folds 3/5 times, calls 1/5, re-raises other time... how do you approach this?

EP?
LP?
BB, SB?

And obviously I'm asking from perspective of playing the whole table, not just straddler.

At a typical 3/6, play it straight.

If it's folded to you LP I'd open with a lot of hands... otherwise play normally.

If you will be first to open, I'd 3-bet with a pretty broad range, basically anything that I would normally limp with, particularly if the table is unlikely to adjust to the live straddler.

Well, you show an immediate profit by raising.

I wouldn't do this in EP. Straddler or not you are unlikely to win before the flop.
