Default Early 4/180 hand that I thought was interesting

Just got moved to this table. We're still at level 1. No reads on villain yet. I'd like to go one street at a time on this one.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (8 handed) internettexasholdem.com

UTG (t1030)
UTG+1 (t3450)
MP1 (t910)
MP2 (t1280)
Hero (t3860)
Button (t1370)
SB (t1940)
BB (t1710)

Preflop: Hero is CO with 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to t80</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero...

Meh. Hero and villain both have big stacks. Hero is in position and has implied odds way in his favor. Plus, what kind of post with this be if I folded PF. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Well ... anything less than 3/4 pot and I have a hard time believing

If I call then I am giving free cards while still playing for set value and still don't really know where I am

I pop this for 300

Edit ... I make the original call as well and, based on reads, would possibly shove over someone reraising

Pre flop I call for set value.
Having missed the flop and with the Ace on the board I would fold to that bet unless I have a read that villain continuation bets a lot.

We are deep here and that bet of his is fishy.

I think if we repop we may get an A rag to fold along with any big pocket pair that is afraid of the A on board.

Still room to fold to someone that reraises us.

Fold isn't horrible if we want to stick to our plan of playing for set value.

I would call preflop for set value and then once I missed my set fold.

This early in a 4/180 I don't pay that much attention to bet size as a lot of the players play pretty randomly when it comes to the amount they bet.

Given there's only 1 opponent you may well get him to fold, but at level 1 most players are not folding when the flop hits them at all, and they love to play Ax until the end.

I am almost never re-popping here, as doing so is more expensive than floating and both will usually have the same result. Between floating and folding it's kind of read dependent. Against an unknown I usually just fold in a 4/180, but floating has its merits.

I hate repopping PF in level I here. He's not folding.

Fold flop. No set. The Ace. His stack. I don't even wanna deal with it when everyone's dying to pay you off in other hands.
