I'm going for a check raise on the flop. If it gets checked to the villain, he's betting almost all the time with these stats (1.6 is very aggressive for such a loose opponent). The way you played it, I'm having a hard time deciding what to do. I don't like calling the flop raise by the button and then calling his turn bet. I also don't like check-raising his turn bet because I want to see a showdown against this aggressive opponent, and getting 3-bet here would really **** up those plans.I don't know whether I like 3-betting the flop, or pulling a stop and go on the turn.If we 3-bet this flop, BB is still getting about the same odds to call, but he's more likely to fold in the face of such aggression. We also get more bets in against an aggressive opponent that we could easily have beat. If Button caps, I'm calling down. If he calls, I'm leading the turn.If call the flop raise and lead the turn, the hand pretty much plays itself. We lead the river if we're called, we call down if we're raised. Of these two, I think I like the first line the best, since it's more likely to get BB to fold.Note that if there was a flush draw on the flop, I'm calling the flop raise, and leading any non 3-flush turn.

You can fold the flop against most players.
Smash, I don't see how you can ever fold this flop, unless your opponent shows you a set.We're getting 10:1 when it gets back to us - 11:1 with the likely BB call. Given that this opponent is very aggressive, and willing to play any two cards, his hand range is quite large. I think we can safely count our Q + T + bkdoor flush as 5 outs. So against just about all opponents, we have to peel here.Also, how do you play this hand against a villian with these stats?

Out of position with no idea what the BB's going to do, with a non nut backdoor draw and three outs I'm folding. If button raises any queen here, I might three-bet to see if I can isolate him by blowing the BB out and then check/call it down.
