Live 1/2 cash game at a donktastic table.

I have been playing very tight after my top set was beat by a runner runner flush (all in on the flop). That knocked me down to $40 or so dollars, and I have only played one hand in the last hour (outside of the blinds) and that was KK on the button--I pushed all in, got one caller, and brought my stack back up to about 95.

So another 30 or 40 minutes go by without me playing a single hand, then Super Loose Player raises to 15 UTG, and get 3 calls. I push with any two cards on the button in attempt to buy a big pot built by a guy who could be raising with 23o.

Yes? No?

I think you're misenterpreting your fold equity. I like this play with AA.
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

I had $40 in front of me the first sime I pushed and was called with pocket 9's. Do you think a player is going to make that same call for ~$100? Also, do you think that just because they are top donkeys they wont notice I haven't been involved in a pot for over an hour?

well, the table seems ridiculously loose but the truth is, there is so much money in the pot one could argue this is +EV. But generally, I don't make this play.

Amazingly enough, they all folded and I picked up the pot. I had my doubts that it would work, but I was prepared to rebuy, and figure getting called might be good for my image here which is much tighter than at other games I play (There are already a couple maniacs at the table, so no need for me to take that roll)

Let's pretend for a second that I knew I was going to get called in at least one spot there. What would my range for pushing have to be? 99+ and AK? I call by a medium pocket pair seems more likely than a weak ace, but people at this game do overvalue AK, so I can't imaging AQ or AJ being good against any ace that calls me?

I should have clarified. He's rediculously loose agressive, raising hands like j5o UTG, and is also the main reason everyone plays at this room

there is a chance that everyone folds, so that gives you a little fold equity. Also, if you get called, it's most likely that you are 35% or, if your lucky a flip because he called with a lower pp. Obviously High pairs are possible.

I'm not saying this is a great play, but i think it's +EV

BTW, the quote is just a joke.
