Deep stacked with a set (Live)

iceman5 · #1 06-27-2007, 01:09 PM

$2/$5 NL Live at MGM.

A very good player ($2800) limps in early MP. I ($1500) am directly to his left and raise to $30 with Th Td.

The SB ($275) calls. The limper calls.

Pot is $100. Flop comes Ks Ts 3s. They check to me and I bet $80. The SB check raises all in and then the big stack cold calls. Whats my play?

The deep stack is a young british guy who is probably the best 2/5 player Ive ever played with. Hes not overly tricky or anything, and doesnt make alot of bluff raises or anything like that, but hes a very solid player and I havent seen him make an obvious mistake in like 10 hours Ive played with him.

As far as what the british guy thins of me....there was a hand where there was a $15 raise, he called and I reraised to $65 with 75o. He called heads up. I bet $100 on the ATx flop and he folded. I showed.

So in other words, he has to think Im tricky and I think he will have more trouble putting me on a hand here than I will have putting him on a hand.

I usually have 333 here, sometimes the nut flush, but I'd just call if I were you and proceed with caution.

Would he coldcall that deep with the bare As with you still left to act? Maybe, its seems spewy but its 2/5 so its possible. Also very possible he has the nuts. Id play this safe and just call, see what happens on the turn.

Definite call IMO. These live players aren't really that good, and he will let you know if he has a flush on the turn.

Call/reevaluate on the turn. Probably fold to any large bet, check behind if checked to.

I dont think theres any way this guy is cold calling with just the As. I think he has to have a flush or 33.

I also think theres a good chance he will lead the turn with either hand if I call the flop. I think thats probably the right play for him to make with either of those hands isnt it?

IMO it is only a hard decision b/c no matter what the turn is, he should bet it, and he probably knows that. You will have a hard decision to make on a non-board pairing turn.

There were several brits at MGM, playing non stop over the last 5 days so I dont know.

I raised it to 20(dont remember exact position) you were next to act and made it 80, I called. Flop came 10 high, I checked, you bet 160 and I pushed for ~120 more. You called with KK I had JJ, GG. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
