The lead into the raiser was sort of interesting because this is basically an action flop. Any ace has a gutshot and an over pair looks good. If I had a legitimate raising hand like AK or JJ, I would probably want to put the money in.

As it is, with A7, I am about 30% against 88+ and about 23% against AT+. Annette calling in the BB could also have hit the flop harder with low cards.

It is kind of hard to figure out whether she is taking a stab at the pot, has a hand similar to mine and doesn't want to be pushed off of it, has some kind of draw she is willing to go allin with, or has a big hand and is leading into the raiser hoping for action. Of course this ambiguity is part of what makes her a strong player.

I think part of the lesson is that I shouldn't have raised her blinds with a marginal hand, as another relatively big stack on the bubble.
