Raise or Call?

Early stage of a Deepstack just look to play small pairs suited connectors flop big win big hopefully. So in this situation I just limp and call the raise with an additional caller from the blinds. A descent bet is made from 1st caller so what is best move here with a player behind left to act ?

Edit : Y is a fairly descent, solid player who plays these Deepstacks regularly. X is new name to me in these tourneys.

    any information on player y?

    if not, i put in a potsize reraise here and now i am also prepared to get it all in on the flop with bottom set should i get reshoved on. Alot of players will overvalue AK/KQ here, also K9 is a possibility, so im getting it in.

    If my rereaise gets flatted, i am reassessing on the turn so may be able to  get away if a real danger card comes.

    I agree with LOL RAISE im definately raising unless im sure player X would raise behind. At the end of the day your going all the way with this on the flop and you want as many chips in as possible as quick as possible. There are real scare cards possible on the turn if you flat here and player X flats or folds.

    +1 you have position. oop i think limping is fine to just set mine. but you have position so give yourself another way to win the pot eh?

    Gotta agree with the consensus.  Only call if the player behind is very likely to raise.  I'm looking to get it all in now if possible, the board is a little top board wet for me to risk the flat versus two players.

    Im with the majority, but with one small differance.

    I re-raise no matter what the player inbehind is likley to do, if their likley to re-raise their going to re-raise anyways unless i go all in, so lets make them put more in let them re-raise and snap all in over the top.

    It would be alot easier to raise a lead + call rather than raise a 'raise re-raise'. 

    Raising this flop is good, though I would most likely call more often than not as we only have just over 2x pot back on turn and we has position and the guy behind can come in and yada yada sets are fun

    Well in the end I decided to just minraise in the hope someone pushed over the top but clearly they had nout.

    Yh I realised this afterwards lol. Maybe a call could have been better then get it in on any safe turn.
