Playing 6/12 @ a B&M. Its about 1:00 A.M. and a drunk comes to the table and sits to my immediate right. He is playing every hand raising blind/ calling to river/ etc. I am in the BB with A/K hearts (Hero). Drunk is SB other player in the hand is 1 off the button (B).Player who is in cut off is the only player at the table that I am slightly worried about. He plays a lot of hand but is a good post flop player.Anyway....B calls A calls and I raise in BB. Flop comes down 7 Q Q with one heart. Drunk bets I call player B calls. Turn is 3 of hearts. Drunk bets I call B calls. River is the Jack of hearts. Drunk bets.....What is your play?

I'm raising the flop. Then I'm raising the river and calling a 3-bet.

You jumped ahead of me with the flop raise. That was gonna be my next question. I thought about that at the time. Not really sure why I decided against it. Guess I was afraid of pushing out the drunk who I was sure I was ahead of.

A raise likely pushes out the overcaller (who you're semi-scared of) and the drunk will stay in because it's only one more bet. Also, if the overcaller 3-bets or calls, you may have to give him credit for a hand.

raise the flop.you're not scaring away the drunk person, i almost guarantee it. if he was that logical, he wouldn't be raising blind, etc. in the first place.you want to push out the guy behind you because you're almost certain you're ahead heads-up against the drunk.if the cutoff still stays in on the flop, raise the turn. now you have a strong draw and you want to increase your chances of winning still.even then, raise that river. not raising it is horrendous. why in the world would you believe you're beat???aseem
