Tpo pair + weak kicker vs Loose aggro opp IP

Hi, what do think about this play? Opponent was loos preflop, he would reraise any A9+, 22+, KJ+I think that continuation bet is too big, I would prefer 90 into 180 pot.Opponent would reraise any straight/flush draws.Is it better to CB 120 or CB 90 in this case?  No Limit Holdem Tournament • 2 Players$5.00+$0.25 Hand converted by the official HUSNG.com hand converter BBStollus1505 SBHero1495  Effective Stacks: 50bb Blinds 15/30

  • Pre-Flop (45, 2 players) Hero is SB

Hero raises to 90, Stollus calls 60

  • Flop (180, 2 players)

Stollus checks, Hero bets 120, Stollus folds

  • Final Pot: 300

I think this bet needs to be 120 since there are so many draws and overcards, even though he would 3B some of those overcards.

If he is reraising you on the flop I think you could bet this smaller, only becuase you have a weak kicker.

I prefer your bet size to a smaller one as it may prevent villian from making a loose move and putting you in a tough spot.  You want to bet enough so that whatever he does - its a honest response. MW

I would open fold T3o vs a loose calling preflop opponent that is also 3betting fairly loose and playing aggressively postflop, you just won't get enough folds pre or post flop with T3o to make up for the lack of value/times you'll have a strong hand you can get value with.As for the flop, if your opponent is really raising any draws (including gutters, any flush draw, 2nd pair even) then you're probably in better shape than you think.  Your sizing looks fine and you wouldn't really be folding to any raise given how many of those hand combinations you're ahead of, and the fact that your opponent is 3betting some of the stuff that dominates you on this board (AT, KT, QT perhaps even JT T9, 99-AA and a few more possibilities).You'll of course be beat sometimes, but if he's that loose you'll be ahead many more times, and even if it doesn't get all in on the flop, you can probably quickly analyze the turn card in relation to what you perceive his hand range to be and come up with the right decision a high % of the time.
