The button is a loose cannon and will play, bet or call with pretty much anything.

The small blind is the tightest player at the table(after me of course), but is still pretty loose.


Not much to go off of, but what would you have done differently?

Flop cbet should be 3/4th-full pot, i know you might be afraid of folding him out, but you want to make it a habit to make your cbets consistently 3/4th-pot sized i think. The turn is just kind of unlucky maybe, you have to call the all in, he could be shoving it with any diamond, and if its the ace, it happens

I'd bet more on the flop because our hand is great so it deserves a big pot.

I fold the turn. I would need really extreme history of his aggression to ever call here because we are only beating a bluff.

A baluga raise is scary enough never mind when its multway. Add to this that when two people have called your bet on a monotone board the ace of that suit is very likely to be among your opponents.

Bet more on flop and obviously call a shove but the turn is a fold, it's like the nuts 90% of the time.

He did end up having the nuts.
