Table Dynamics Question 6-handed Live $2/$5 NLH
UTG - $500 - Hero - 8c7c
MP - $850 - Loose passive Asian - Usually folds a lot to my raises. Plays really straightforward post flop
CO - $900 - Tight aggressive Asian Kid - Folds a lot to raises and usually open raises. Occasionally will see him open limp MP/call a raise with small SC OOP vs a fish. Saw him do this with 43s
BTN - $600 - Bad Aggressive villain - I want to play as many pots with this guy as possible. On a scale 1-10 of bad aggressiveness, I would say he's a 7. Probably playing 60-70% of hands. He tries to win a lot of pots he plays, and doesn't mind bluffing without much or any equity to win the pot. He "tries too hard" to win
SB - $500 - Old passive guy - Pays off light with top pair. Doesn't like to fold
BB - $1000 - Loose aggressive asian kid - Plays really loose aggressive. Is an alright LAG
My usual opening size is to 4x preflop. A lot of times, I open 87s utg+3 (or utg 6-max) because most villains play sort of passive. I really want to play as many pots as possible with the btn, but he does play back a lot postflop, so it will be hard to capitalize on our equity post flop. It feels like at a 4x size, I would be creating too much dead money. But, if I make it $15 (I have been making it $20 normally), I probably won't get 3-bet a lot, but maybe the bad aggro might play back a whole lot more (or the loose aggro/TAG asian kids).
My auto raising range here: (A8s+, T9s+, KJo+, ATo+, 77+). Probably limp 22+ because of bad aggro on btn.
Should I just fold 87s preflop? Should I limp it? Should I raise to a smaller size? Also, what about A2s-A7s? Should I play any of those?

The value from suited connectors comes from post flop. in a game where your getting played back at a lot pre i would opt to see a cheaper multiway pot rather than thinking about how much to raise. if the button is bad then hes going to play bad multiway too.
this is different if you are on a table that is call happy. and also theres a time and a place for suited connectors so if the dynamics dont allow you to play them profitably then a fold is fine a lot of the time
