    any reasons? we are pretty deep here and MP2 6x raised and turned his hand face up which allows me to play him pretty perfectly, no?

    In order for him to turn his hand face up you would need to have reads on Villain or some previous experience....with a limper many people increase their raise size too largley...you put him on AK, 88-JJ? I think even AQ could show up here and if villain is smart QQ-AA

    well, im assuming hes doing this with a pair or a big ace, so i think his range is extremely narrow
    hes never ding this with JTs or something because my read is up until this point, is that he has not 6x'd anything before

    Here's my case for it: when you're 200 blinds deep areaman, you're far more apt to make a lot of plays at the pot when you miss. Especially after you invest 6 blinds. It's fairly obvious the villain has a hand. You're going to have to make the best hand to win PROBABLY and if you don't I just feel like there's a lot of spots where you're going to semi-bluff and get raised out of your socks, or you're just going to miss or...hell, ya know, I just say move on to the next hand. I understand the case for calling, if you get the 5/5/A flop you're going to win a big pot perhaps. The implied odds are good with people being this deep. But I think sometimes we put too much stock into implied odds. Again, we play differently, but I think this is a fold.

    I agree with BVIs break down. The idea of deep stacked is, when you hit a deceptive hand, you will be rolling in implied odds when the villain has a hand he cant lay down. That being said, you HAVE to hit the hand to get the value if he has a hand he cant lay down. Can't have it both ways here, you are tempted to feel like you can semi-bluff the villain into folding. So a hand like 5-4 suited is going to flop enough draws for you to be chasing, and getting in money incorrectly according to straight pot odds, but you putting it in anyway in hopes of those implied odds. It just gets you difficult spots where you could be putting in alot of chips significantly behind in the hand.

    Now with a pocket pair, I CALL! those are easier to play, and have much greater implied odds than straight and flush draws.

    anyone ever 3 bet here pre? just for the sake of arguing? then we would have control, bluffing ability on scary flops for villians hand which are likely to be half of flops if not more. if you have AK youre likely to flop an AK 33% of the time and if you have 99-JJ there is likely to be an over 50% of the time, QQ 33% of the time, considering his range, and being as deep as we are, is it horrible?

    well, ok, i called, naturally because i like my hand and i do beleive that some of the time i can make the villian fold the best of it over a 3 streets.
    i also like my positional advantage and my ability to play his range, which i think is 99-JJ pretty perfectly.

    so BTN overcalls and UTG folds and we are off to a flop
