Vets, most of the decisions in this hand are pretty fundamental, so let's let the folks with < 500 posts do most of the work, m-kay, thx.

Reads:

*MP1 is LPP. Hasn't been here long, but has played about half his hands, pfr prolly about 10, but it's not his pfr hands he's hitting with. He's running hot, up a few bets. He doesn't seem to really know what he's doing except inasmuch as he can recognize when HE has a good hand.

*Button is TAP. I've got a decent number of hands on him, but no notes, stats 20/14/0.6.

*Blinds seem reasonable, but I don't have a lot on them. Neither has impressed me as over-the-top loose.

<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero ?

Might as well start with the first decision.

Raise / call any 3 bet / fold if it somehow comes back 2 to you.

The raise is mainly an isolation play. You're hoping to hit your A on the flop and for MP1 to catch a piece of it with some open limp trash in line with his stats.
