I am wondering how other people would play this hand, any comments are appreciated.

the comments were my thoughts then

Let me describe the table:

there's a couple of very loose playes on this table
max buy in is $25 , big blind is $0.25.
10 player table
player 6 and 7 play every hand

Player 1 went all in on high card King (K3o), I smelled his weakness and called him down on pocket deuces with a gut shot straight and won $35. (heads up) .

player 2 seems tight, didn't see him in a showdown yet

Player 3 bought in for $20, kinda loose
this is the particular hand:

player 1(SB): $25
player 2(BB): $34
player 3 : $16
player 4 to 9: $irrelevant
DalunoR: $120

dealt to me: AdKd

player 3 raises $1.25
player 4 to 6 fold
player 7 calls (as expected)
I reraise to 6.25 ( in an attempt to win the pot right there)

player 1 folds, player 2 calls, player3 calls, player 7 calls (3 calls on such a bet, this really is a loose table, anybody with AA or KK would have reraised here)
FLOP: QdTd7c

player 2 raises $4, player 3 reraises $2 to $6, I Reraise $24 to$30

(I figured player 2 would fold, and player 3 would have top pair or second pair at best(JJ) with a really slight chance of top set. I have 20 outs (any A, K, J or diamond) and maybe he is just continuation betting on two high cards). I like to put people all in on draws with more than 14 outs.

player 2 folds (as expected), player 3 calls (his last $6 in a $21 pot)

I will post the results soon.

I play it the same with your loose read. Except my raise to 6$ pre flop is not an attept to take it down right there, i'm hoping for a call with AKs . That flop is about the best possible flop you can get with AKs besides AAA, KKK, AAK, KKA, etc. The best thing about it is that you are an odds on favorite to make the nuts, whether its a flush or strait, and the board is "dangerous" looking enough that people with top pair or two pair or bottom set etc, all want to squash draws by betting big. I like the push if you know that player 3 is going to call (he's pot commited basically) but I might want to keep player 2 along for the ride a bit longer as well. Your outs are clean against 2 players as easily as they are against 1, because you're drawing to the nuts.
