Good evening,

This is very shortly after the previous hand I just posted in this $5R/A, against the same villain, KKS1969 who is loose/passive/sticky.  After 66 hands he's 52/12, 41% limp, 0% 3bet, 20% fold to Cbet, 80% call Cbet.  I just doubled him up after he showed down A7 in the previous hand.

Pre Flop: (t1380) Hero is with K Q

I know early on, 9-handed and pre-antes we fold KQo and AJo UTG.  But what about 8-handed, with antes and reads on opponents  is it – ok to open?

Hero raises to t1200.00, 3 folds, KKS1969 calls t1200, 3 folds

Now he's in position, so he should be even wider than in the previous hand, when he called from the SB.  I'll weigh him away from premiums here. Also I'm pretty sure I watched him flat someone else with J7o somewhere in this stretch of hands.

Flop: (t3780) 5 9 4 (2 players)

So he just watched me Cbet with the proper paired Ace represented, though I don't know if he's paying attention.  I guess even if he was, this Cbet may have been a mistake.

Hero bets t1800.00, KKS1969 calls t1800

and maybe I should have made it bigger since I actually wanted him to fold?

What would you guys range him on here?  I have trouble feeling confident in the ranges I'm assigning to loose villains like this.  I'll say he could have a flush draw, any pocket pair, obivously a nine or a set, and probably lots of broadway cards.  I believe 67 could be the bottom of his preflop call range here, so maybe he has that in his range here too.

Turn: (t7380) 4 (2 players)

Here is where I'm really curious.  Is this a good place to two barrel?  The turn doesn't help either of us, and unfortunately I don't have any history on this guy with 2nd barrels. In game I'm pretty sure I felt he would just keep calling if I bet.

Hero?

Thanks for reading, I'll post the rest of the hand after a response or two.
