live 1-2 wierd hand

[MataWispar]

I went up to the local Indian casino to play a little live poker with my buddy when this hand comes up. Villain #1 is BB has been pretty loose and passive, limp calling pfr left and right. He has a stack of about 300. Villain #2 has been pretty Lagish, coming in with a raise anywhere from 25 to 45 percent of the time. He also has around 300 in front of him. Buy in for this game is 100 and I am shorty at the table with about 150. Pfr have been anywhere from 12 to 20, and it is common to have 4 or 5 to a flop in a raised pot.

I get dealt 10 10 in the cutoff. One guy limps, villain #2 is on my immediate right and raises to 15. He can have almost anything here, and will call a reraise. I don’t really want to play this hand 4 or 5 handed in a raised pot, but I don’t really like raising a third of my stack. I do it anyway hoping to get heads up with #2. I have been pretty quiet so far and no one has 3 bet pre flop. Well BB calls the 45 cold, limper folds and #2 calls.

At this point I am completely lost. What on earth is bb cold calling that raise with? Does it have to be AA or KK? I have no clue. Pot right now is about 140 and I have about 100 left.

Flop comes J 9 4 rainbow, BB checks, #2 checks, I think for a bit and check. Turn is a 9 putting 2 hearts on the board. BB checks, #2 checks.

What is my play now, and what do you guys think of checking that flop?

Well, reraising preflop I think is probably correct given your shortish stack. It wouldn't be a mortal sin to fold the TT if the original raiser was tightish, but against this guy, raising I think is right. A call is questionable, but since the pot could be multiway a flat call might have been fine too...

When you get two checks in front of you on the flop I think you should really bet, I've kinda lost track of what the pot size is, but if it is big enough, just push your remaining stack in I would say...

not sure what kind of lop you're looking for...rainbow, drawless, only 1 overcard...this is pretty much the dream flop. you should be getting it all in. You said BB is loose and passive, so, it doesn't really matter that he calls 45 straight. Lots of people will call off AK/AQ w/ with that type of money.

as is, you should be shoving this flop, if for no other reason that you have a hand, and you can't stand any heat/draw.
