Villain is somewhat a loose cannon. Should I call or fold?

I would need to know a liittle more information on the loose cannon. What kind of hands has he been calling with and pushing. Have you seen this type of play from him and what were the cards??

Your preflop was a little strong imo. I would have bet somewhere around 4x bb with one limper already in the pot. The SB calls this bet from the sb which would lead me to believe he has a strong enough hand to call. Even loose players get good cards too. Once he called this preflop bet he is pretty much pot committed to the hand and you should be aware of this here.

He could have easily called here with ATs+, AJo+ and probably 55+. Your are getting just under 2.5 to call this bet which are not bad odds with your QQ. There is only one over card to the board and a flush draw. The gut shot straight I don't think you would have to consider as a possibility with his call from in the sb. If you make the call and lose you are extremely low stacked. The blinds are still low enough here that I think I would fold the hand unless your reads on this guy are solid.

I would guess he has something like Axd or hit his K. Hope this helps some.

Could be a stop and go play. Tough spot. I think I'd fold unless the small blind had made some very bad plays in the past.

Id probally call. When he called the raise you were both pretty much pot committed. He's got JJ and hopes you didnt hit that K.

Yes, def. call. u r pot committed and if he is loose, all the better.
