Top two on UBER drawy board facing huge action $40NL

[JimmyJet]

Villian is kinda new to the table, I have seen him be very active put it like that. He has bled chips away in about 10 hands, so could well be loose, or just missing. He is at 78/50 over 14 hands which does indicate he is loose but it's by no way a solid read. Anyway;

78/50 is pretty psycho even if it is only 14 hands. i would like a read on his aggressiveness as opposed to just looseness...but still i'm very tempted to call even if it's just 1.5 to 1. QJT is very action-happy and he could have anything (KQ, J9, AT, JJ, 99, A2...). oh and he raised pf from the button too. oh i'm calling this immediately.

I instacall and curse him and his family when he sucks out. (Verbally, not in chat of course )

Oh yeah...my reasoning. I don't usually call raises oop with QJ. I will however make calls with less than stellar hands vs. aggrodonks, with my plan being that I'm going to take the hand all the way if I hit, say, TPGK. So I think if I called his raise pf, I'm willing to match the rest of his stack when I hit.

This may not be the best way to handle a maniac. Just my opinion.

QJs is a nice hand to 3bet him with if he's getting too frisky preflop.

I think you're good to call this against his range - WA of other 2 pairs and AQ, favourite against KQ, T9, 99 and lots of draws, flipping against combo draws and only WB to AK and sets.

Interesting replies so far. I'll leave it another day before results.

CT, I was as you say OOP to the original raiser but given his past donkishness, given the pot odds I was offered, given the fact I have big suited connectors, and given the fact I am capping the betting pre flop, is this not an insta call pre-flop?

I'm looking for a draw on the flop here, any TP type hands I'm obv concerned I'm out kicked.
