Re: I thought I had the nuts
How close to you was he? If he was the first caller on the flop, the more likely he is to have a set than a straight. But he's still much more likely to have 7-5s here. If this is the player I think it is, I'd bet out if I filled up on the river, he's liable to check behind with a a straight. If you raise here and don't improve and he has the straight, you're going to lose two more bets than you would have by just calling down (unless you plan to fold on the river unimproved if he 6-bets the turn). If he has a set, you're only going to win one more by just calling here as opposed to raising.
