TPTK deep facing lots of pressure

[Play4Pride]

No reads on villain. Would be pretty standard if the villain weren't so deep. All I can really see here is a set. Villain limps preflop and cold calls my preflop raise. Thus, its almost possible for him to have big pair here given that we are so deep and he will be out of position. He min check raises on a drawy board and then pots it on the turn. I can't really see a draw taking this line. What do you guys think? Any advice appreciated.

Why would he check min raise the flop so deep with a strong hand. Wouldn't he want to protect it?

I think I can't find my fold button on the turn.

What range of hands do you put him on here? Thanks.

Lot's of fish like to "find out where they are at" by CMRing in spots like this when they have KT, KJ, KQ, a fd is also possible.

Also some players play significantly more aggressive when the stacks are deeper because most people play scared when they are deep with som1 else.

Probably because he's really bad.

Might be why he pots the turn.


I usually don't fold this, but I get shown a set a lot and then I'm pissed at myself for being a pay off wizard.

If you can't fold the turn, you can always call and hope he checks air on the river.


Also, just noticed this. If you were isolating a limping villain and it was HU to the flop, I would be more likely to call because sometimes they go bat [censored] crazy defending their limp. However, with another player in the pot, I don't think he would do that.
