I reraise PF if those are the stats. This spot kind of sucks because you're going to stack off if you reraise and if you don't reraise you are c/f unimproved. I think your line seems fine.

Reraising pre-flop is marginal; your opponent probably won't fold, and then you'll miss the flop a lot and be stuck OOP. But since the villian is raising so much, it's not such a bad idea.

As for the flop, you should lead for more, especially with all those draws out there. Bet the pot. That way, when you get reraised, you can just push and take your chances that you were outflopped.

As played, after that min-raise, you should probably just push, since betting $10 pretty much commits you against drunk-retarted players anyway. If they're going to call with draws (and they probably will), you might as well make them pay.

Am I the only one dumping this post-flop?

Your pre-flop action isn't as bad as the other two have noted, but could use some work.

As played, I don't mind your bet on the flop, but after the CO raises and the SB flat calls, I have a hard time seeing why you would raise here. This is an easy fold once the SB calls that raise post-flop, IMO.

This would make sense against normal players, but these are drunk retards at $25NL. They could both literally have anything here. I don't really mind stacking off with TPTK in those circumstances, especially since at least one, if not both of them, is likely to have just a draw.

I'm getting it all in here. Also, probably check raising the flop instead of leading out, though I would lead out normally since i would have 3 bet this pre flop in your position.

Hmm....guess I don't play it much like you at all but it seems like we're both getting the monies in the middle.

I agree I think you need to get it all in here.
