Venetian 5-10 Deep Set

[TrueBritt]

Effective Stacks: 4600
No read on villain

MP raises to 50
I call in LP with 55
SB calls
BB calls

Flop: ($200) 457r
SB bets 80
BB calls
I raise to 540 with middle set
SB goes all in for andother 4k

Call? Fold?

I'd also like to hear from other deep-stack players as to whether I should smooth-call his initial bet for fear of the straight. Also, would your decision be different if there were 2 of a suit on the flop? What about 3 of a suit?

[Tiltyjoker]

yes it makes a big diff. if there are 2 or 3 to a flush on the board.... With a 3 flush im not calling allin; and just smooth calling more often than raising on the flop. Also what kind of player is SB... ive seen live donks flip over something like 88 or some other ridicolous hand in this spot.

My only read is that he seems fairly solid. I'm putting him on at least 2 pair.

Also, he's asian, and he's sitting on about 9k. I figure he's probably a pro, but he could also just be a big gambler.

Do you raise his initial bet if the flop is rainbow or has two of a suit?

My question is whether I should play this more cautiously because we are so deep-stacked.

if he puts you on a set/2 pair, he could think you would call when he has a straight. not that this is a great play, but something he could be thinking.

looks like a fold, but i can definitely see myself spite calling if i feel like it. there is more to poker than EV [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
