1/2 NL 10-handed live. Effective stack is $320. Loose Villian has the habit of raising huge preflop with a wide range. I already saw him open raise $25 with AK from UTG, $22 with QTs from MP and $33 with 97o on BT vs one limper. Also, he seemed like a station after the flop and stabbed at the pot when checked to.
one limper, he was on the button and popped up to $18, hero got dealt AhQc on sb and 3 bet to $45, villain insta called .
flop: 3c 4c 7d
hero ? what to do?? Check/ give up or C-bet/how much?

Seen alot of these players before, Cbeting seldom works, honestly sounds like your read on his, any two cards will do, and he will call you down with middle pair. Check, if he raises give it up till next time your hand hits. I Know check calling seems like backwards poker, but can payoff big when he finally makes his misstep. Also reassures his wide range play is working.

Bigger re-raise pre-flop. Shove flop.
Counter to over-bite calling station:
Anytime you can get in 1/3+ of your stack in pre-flop with a premium pre-flop hand, jam him.
Don't call his big raises with speculative hands. It sucks, but you really have to fold a pot.
Don't set mine without odds. Don't count on his stack.
Mix up 3-betting and flatting AA-QQ against him.
10 handed he'll run into hands really often and go broke pretty fast.

I like this play too, raise big, shove flop! 80% of the time he is folding! I don't like checking here, you will have to call a big bet and get no info anyway.

i often make this play(raise huge/shove any flop) around 100BB stack. 160BB seems a little bit deep.
Fnord, how do you play your 77-JJ, AT,AJ,KJ,KQ range in this situation ?

In some live games big blinds is a poor measurement of how deep the game is really playing. Really big openers and loose calls can bloat a pot quick, making a game that would be deepish by online standards no so much in reality.
For example, in a vegas 1/2 $300 max game the blinds are a joke and just an excuse to gamble because it really doesn't take much motivation. You're not fighting for the blinds, you're fighting to play (more) than your fair share of pots against the fish.
