NL50: Extracting with a set in RR pot, 180BBs deep

[Baintz]

I had been playing usual TAG game, mainly concentrating on the one huge fish at the table (not villain here).

Villain also seemed TAG, and I hadn't seen him reraise yet, so assumed this was most likely a big pair or AK (sorry, so stats as playing HUDless).

Don't know how much villain was paying attention but in a previous hand (not against villain) I had checkraised flop with flush draw, fired a brick turn and shoved river when it hit.
In another I had checkraised flop multiway with the nut straight and got it all in against the same hand.


So, my question here is whether to lead and B3BAI, or checkraise, and for what amounts?
A checkraise gets money out of AK that a lead might not, whereas B3BAI might fold out some overpairs.

Don't have much experience with deep stacks, so any help much appreciated.

i checkraise here usually. AA/KK will stack you off

This is a good one for a c/r I think. Make it a bigger c/r than usual so it's easier to get more in on the turn if he flats. It'll also look more like you're trying to scare him out.

c/r flop.. lead turn if nothing

Lead is really sexy here IMO. You aren't gonna get much respect at all really (donkbetting), which is what makes it so cool. Then when you 3BAI villain is still gonna be in the mindset of not believing you given your donkbet, and snap call with his overpair. CR is a good line, but b3bai is clearly optimal.
