Preflop, my preferred action is to jam all-in. I have a 30betting range here that is probably wider than yours, so taking this action with this hand is protecting some of the weaker holdings that I might have in this spot. I think the other thing that you mention, that the opener is loose and has the tendency to call light, helps confirm that jamming is correct in this spot. As for potential other options preflop, I don’t like 3-betting to a smaller sizing due to the stack-to-pot ratio on the flop. It just leaves us in a weird spot with stack sizes and out of position. I’d prefer a call to a small 30bet.
On the flop, I do not like the lead jam. Although we can get worse hands to call us, those same hands will CBet, along with other worse hands that will CBet. To me, this is a textbook check/jam spot and I’ll take that every day of the week.
