You called and he showed 78...

But the call (the 900) is still the correct play even if you can put your opponent on a weaker 7 a huge ammount of the time because weaker sevens usually won't pay off to a shove, but you will get called by every hand that beats you.

in a live game i dont think anyone will ever think about folding any 7 on this river. holla

I would, wouldn't you?

lol, every live game ive ever played everyone was a complete utter idiot, and the majority of that play has been 5-10 and 10-20. ppl hate to fold, and i find live games incredibly easier than online at the same stakes. fwiw i only call tho. but i just read results, but id only call anyway and would be scared to do that. lead 3 bets are scarrrry. holla

I ended up feeling that he was most likely to have a pocket pair or worse 7 and that he would call for the remainder of my chips.

I pushed and he instantly called and flipped up his 4-4 and did a little dance.

It was awesome.

reraising is sooo bad there.

l, raptor, etc:

If I had reason to believe my opponent had a seven, then pushing makes much more sense, because he'll often call w/ any seven.

I don't see how "His body language tells me that he is ready to play a big pot." on the turn is consistent w/ him possibly having a seven.

And what pocket pairs are you expecting a call from?

n1. ty - it brought to mind the what does he think that you think that he has here... he told you what he had... did you fall in love with your 7?

Irie,

I felt like an ass and posted the hand here to help myself identify at what point in the hand I should have been most capable of knowing how strong he was.

I realize now that my read of his strength was dead-on, but I tried to convince myself that he was merely eager to play back at me. As Apathy said, when somebody is eager to play back at you when they haven't in the past, it is usually because they are pwning you.

Does Mr. Tight-solid-predictable call from the SB with 7x (OOP against a strong player and with a UTG limper yet to act)? And if he had 7x would he play the flop and turn as passively as he did (or even with 88-JJ)? Based on your reads, and the way he has played the hand up to this point (and your saying that he likely would have re-raised PF with QQ-AA) I think 22 and 44 are his only likely hands (the K on board really diminishes the chances of him pushing a hand this hard with 88-JJ). I definitely call behind ATR and hope for the best.
