I really really really wanted to call hand 2. Like what can he have? My image on table should be a somewhat tight reg. Are you ever just folding 77 pre in hand 2?

Oh and hand 1 isn't that interesting but it makes hand 2 very interesting

I think folding to the 4bet is best pre. It may seem nitty but we know he's going to be aggro post flop and we need to hit a set to be comfortable calling him down.

If he's an aggro fish then there are spots where we'll have a bigger edge over his range and if he isn't then we'll just get roasted.

Well it was a 3 bet and villain has shown spaz before and judging that he got it in with 77 BTN v BB also shows he might overplay situations such as me isolating limpers on the button. I wouldn't mind getting 77 in post flop in some situations so I'm not just purely setmining either. This is a really meta spot but him limping pre and then playing his hand like this is really weird. Was he expecting me to raise button or is he losing his mind?

I would sometimes consider jamming pre since I'll have 20% equity at worst but judging by that BTN v BB hand he isn't folding any middling pairs like 88-1010 that I would probably need for a jam to be decent. We also have no read on his postflop play so its hard to say he is just always going to bomb it like this.

Or am I overthinking and should just fold pre and "wait for a better spot"?

What were your intentions for calling the 3bet? Not purely setmining...

He probably had Jacks.

To play postflop poker

And what flop were you envisioning to do that on that didn't contain a 7? 456? 689?

Fact is you were setmining but paying to much to do so IMO.

No need to be a dick but I can GII post on plenty of 10 high flops if I wish, villain could also cbet give up with overs. Not saying I will fist pump GII but I'm not afraid to play post with a marginal hand against someone who appears to be a little crazy. This was actually a flop I wanted to see. I was probably calling atleast a single bet on this flop until he 2x jammed it.

Sorry, it was late, I meant 3bet. Like I said though, if he's a fish this spot is marginal and you're going to end up in a bunch of situations just like you experienced. If he's a bad/titled reg then you're just getting smashed. The turn jam makes him a fish but we don't know that pre-flop. It's a fold for me.

He basically snap called with 77 in the first hand so we can consider him spewy(Or am I spewy? :p ) even though his stats indicate he is a LAG but how often does he have to be spewing to call flop? I could see him jamming 1010-AA like this on this flop but how often is he limping/rring these hands pre? Is he going nuts with hands like A2s-A5s sometimes? Probably not an exact answer to this hand with the limited reads. A part of me thinks this should be one of the flops I am calling on but the jam kind of throw me off guard and I folded.

A lot of fish will limp/raise with big PP. especially AA. You're right about it being a decent flop for you to continue normally. I just think his range here is pretty strong and if he does air ball like this then we can wait for a better spot to stack him.

What's the bottom of your calling range here? TPTK would typically be it but against a seemingly spewy villain should we widen that to maybe 1010+?

Or am I over adjusting based offl hand?

Fold hand 2. I'd make the assumption he knows a little bit about the game and is trying to get you to call wide in that spot. Maybe he's spewy, but hand 1 wouldn't just make me leap to that conclusion.

Fold pre or the flop in hand 2 John? And yeah I agree, I felt like he was trying to level me some or he just got scared with a pocket pair thinking I would show up with overs or something along those lines

Fold the flop in hand 2. I just meant, hand 1 wouldn't have made me call in hand 2.
