200 NL deepish stacks, huge decision
 

Have been multi-tabling so no real reads, except that haven't seen villain do anything out of line yet.

Effective stacks for both are ~350

Villain raises to 7 from MP
CO calls
Hero calls from button with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
bb calls

Flop (Pot ~30)
Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
bb checks
Villain bets 20
CO folds
Hero raises to 60
bb folds
Villain raises to 180
Hero...????? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

So at that point it's 120 to call for pot of 270 but calling would certainly commit hero as both would've only ~150 behind on turn.

So...push or fold?? Im confused...

Thanks guys,

Saku

I would fold. Your effective odds are poor. The most obvious result is that you're drawing to a flush or are crushed.

I wouldn't have raised in the first place. He's bet with a scary flop and 2 players left to act so he likely has a piece of it. If you are ahead you aren't very vulnerable. If he reraises you may waste outs when you fold. Use your position.

What hands do you beat? You have top pair but lose to AK, a hand that villan could easily have raised with. Even on the flush draw there is a possiblitiy that it is not the nuts. I think I would fold. I agree that the reraise puts you in a bad spot. Now to call the reraise you are risking you entire stack with a hand that is not the nuts.

Pretty easy fold, he has A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]A, or something like that v often. I'd probably just call the flop and see what happens on the turn. Also, I'd fold preflop.

I don't think you should be calling raises preflop with KQo, even if you're on the button...

That being said villian seems to have top pair beat if he's making a raise this large. I'd just let it go here.
