50NL Flopped straight 300BB deep

[mikechops]

I don't post a lot of hands here, because I usually think I know what I'm doing. However, this is a bit out of the ordinary for me since I'm rarely this deep.

CO has fishy stats ~42/11/2.75 over about 100 hands - about 1/2 mined - but has actually played his good hands reasonably well.

I've been LAGy. I got my stack by opening 97s UTG. Flopping pair+FD and stacking a TAG who tried to bluff on the river after I spiked trips. I got some abuse for that and CO was probably remembers the hand.

FWIW CO called the short stack push quickly. Do I 3-bet to protect my hand or call? What's the plan down the line either way?

good question? There are alot of cards that can kill the action either way.

I think I reraise to $50-$60 and create a side pot with CO

[marvin_1935]

CO has a set. shove and hope the board doesnt pair

[mikechops]

OK pot is around $65 if I call. I raise another $50 to $70...

CO shoves another $60. Hero says oh [censored] and ???

[jmgambler]

Hero shoves and expects to see a set and hopes the board doesnt pair

hero punchs his keyboard, throws everything off the desk, times down and calls.

this call is hugely +ev vs 66-88.

this call is ev neutral vs 54/T9/66-88

this call is -ev vs T9/66-88

don't discount slowplayed overpair trying to teach the LAG a lesson . . .

Thanks guys. Maybe this is a BBV post cos he had the nut straight. Kind of difficult to get away from though. Those multi-way pots play much bigger - especially when some shorty shoves TPTK.

When he smooth calls, be afraid, be very afraid. He is welcoming you to overcall or a reraise. Does 2 pair do this? No. Does a set do this? No. A set is going to make you pay to draw and raise it up to isolate. This guys has the nuts way more often than he has a set.

Meh, I dunno about this. The point at which we know he is huge hand is when he calls a raise. When he just smooth calls he could easily be drawing with a 9.
