Default Re: Deepstacks at 1/2 NL

Let me give a scenario, lets say an early position raiser has $400 (he's a decent player but mostly has been hitting his flops and we don't know whether he overvalues his hands or not) he raises to fifteen and three players in the middle call, and I (who also has $400 in chips) decide to come into the pot with K10 suited. Flop comes K102 rainbow. Early position raiser makes it sixty to go, everyone folds to me. My instinct would be to make it 180 and hope to take it down, but what if he moves all in over the top?

I'd beat him into the pot. Could be beat, but for $220 more you're not folding in this $650 pot. Unless he's a maniac, his hand range is AA, AK, KK, TT, and maybe QJ. You're ahead enough of the time to call.

If stacks were $800 instead of $400, it could easily be a fold, depending on the player.

What would your action be in this hand when action gets to you on the flop?

Against most opponents, raise to $180 or so and hope he has AA/AK.
