3bet preflop against these droolers every time. I flat the flop because we have the nuts and these idiots are liable to do something really stupid if we let them.

how do you know you have the nuts against these two? With the number of hands there playing I would assume K3 and A3 are both possible. Is this a bad assumption?

Even if they have a 3 it doesn't matter because we are NEVER folding and there are zero scare cards for our hand. So we play AK here like the nuts.

Well there are some 3x combos in their ranges, but because they are both maniacs, they have many many many other hands in their ranges too, e.g. any king, 44-QQ, etc. So like 95% of the time we're crushing here and they're drawing to two or three outs.

We can raise if we think they'll pay us off with worse, which is probably true. Slowplaying here might get money from both players, whereas raising might only get us action from only the raiser, but I am a nit so I'd feel better just raising right now

Failing to 3-bet makes baby Jesus cry.
