Default AWESOME PREFLOP QUESTION

30/60 $20 sb. Bad loose player open limps, folded to the dreaded pokerquan on the button. He is a decent longtime 30/60 player. He raises, you're in the small blind with AJo, the big blind is a terrible loose recent jackpot winner who is probably dangling from his weight room right now after giving away ~15k in the last week. You do..?

2 chip / 3 chip right? I voted call but its certainly closer to raise than fold.

Not sure if I'm supposed to change my answer because of whoever pokerquan is, but I'd threebet just about any decent player raising a limper from the button even in a 1/2 structure imo. The big blind often comes for two more and that's just fine.

I would call. If bb is who I think it is he is never folding for 15 bets. Quan may or may not have a real hand. Personally, think AJ is too much hand to fold, but I dont think a fold would be bad, certainly better than 3 betting.

Give you an idea how bad bb is. Doc opened in CO, I 3town ATs, he calls 2 out of bb. I had never played w/ him before. He donks an AJK flop, Doc folds so I call. Turn x, bet call. river T, he checks, I bet and he calls and flashes A3o.

I can't make up my minds. Yes, luckily I have at least 2 of them. I think manic Howard (not my real name) 3-bets and depressed Howard just calls. Neither of me is folding.

I voted fold because:
1. I am at very early stage in my poker hobby
2. folding keeps me out of trouble
3. SSHE chart has fold for both loose and tight games
4. I would call 40-45% of the time though to stop being robbed blinds so because I fold 60-55% > 50%, I voted fold
