Priced in for disaster?

Players on the table were a little loose and wild, and I felt like mixing it up a bit preflop. Partly because it was a long session and partly because I had been drinking gin and tonics, but ran out of the latter.

I have to call this, right?

Like I said, the table was loose for the most part, but villain just sat down.

For villains range I was thinking 88-QQ, AK, and possibly AQ would just flat call each of the two preflop raises.

Does that seem ok?

Preflop raise just rediculous or ok sometimes?
Comments on flop bet?

Only behind a few hands here, but very bad feeling about this one.

Easy call. If he has a Q, then oh well.

I agree, he could easily have a hand like JJ or something.

For the price, you have to call.

Preflop that bet seems a little big, but it worked so...

You maximized your EV preflop nicely ... put notes on this guy that hes waay too loose preflop

What did he end up having?

I assume you called and I assume you were beat.... aces perhaps? I hope he's got quads Razz
