Villain is 100/74 3 bet 37% over 35 hands

I don't 3 bet for value as he looks like a loon that will 4 bet a ton.

Call the flop as I think all my 'equity pieces' make it ok

Turn fold looks std

Hey ChangNoi77,

Preflop call is fine here. We might still have a value 3-bet though. We can't say for certain that he will 4bet a ton even if he is crazy. He might just call everything.

Normally I would like to defend this gutshot on turn here somehow vs this sizing, but given we may just have zero fold equity on turn or river vs this guy I think x/f is actually our best option.

Do you mean that would would normally float flop and turn vs a reg?

What about the fact that we may have 10 good outs here as well as the best hand, is calling the turn and giving up unimproved on the river a sensible option?

Basically what you just said.

We might have the best hand + 10 outs which are possibly good + a great price to call.

Hence very tempted to continue with the hand. The difficulty is that all of our outs except for the Js may be tainted and leave us reverse dominated. But yeah, I think calling turn is totally reasonable here on review.
