[BeyondReason]

Since Somehow this thread is still going, I will throw out a couple thoughts.

Check check is how I would play it, we wanted to stack someone, not bluff them out of a small pot.


I am going to say BB had 77, UTG had AA catching his 2 outer, and the river makes your straight for the miracle runner runner.

However to make this hand interesting the player behind bets out, the two sets reraise, you fold, he folds, and you curse him after the hand is over wishing you would have made that small 1/3 pot bet on the flop to get rid of him. Hence the reason for this thread, to see if anyone would have actually done it.

You could reason that a small flop bet would allow you to see a free river card, since the player behind would fold allowing us to close the turn, and the two monsters would smooth call, planning on check raising 4th, which we already knew we were checking through. The river hits, chips fly, and we accomplish what we had hoped to do.
