NL$200 Turn Decision vs a 43/24

[muxplust]

Ok, very obvious this guy is a loose cannon, he felt the need to call with some junk hand and make a play against me earlier on a JJJ flop, then started calling me bad names in the chat (unprovoked)....

what you think is hte best course of action here and why?

i considered raising the flop but my opponent was very aggro and i figured he'd bluff turn, thoughts?

[Melchiades]

You didn't raise flop because you thought villain would follow through and bluff turn. No he does exactly like you thought he would and you don't know how to respond?

[muxplust]

Yes, hence the post. Would you stick it in here, or just call.

[TNUC]

i would raise this flop to 65ish and call a push.

[Slap My Jack]

Fold preflop.

Even though it is a small reraise, he doesn't have a full stack.

Your king could be easily dominated. Flopping top pair with a seven is trouble to any overpairs he could weak reraise like this. You're basically looking to flop huge here and you want some decent stack behind villain to pay you off.

Even though he is a loose cannon, you don't have to turn into one yourself playing K7s to a reraise.

Your typical TAG game should readily beat him. You can consider calling with stronger implied hands such as 67s. If anything, his style is getting you to play into his hands by trying to take a stand with K7s. (I should listen to my own advice here.)
