if you bet is it with the intention of calling a shove? If you check behind what is your plan for the river? does overjamming 10k into a 7k pot here have any merit?

Ok, I happened to call I have like 10.5k remaining after the flop it's an offsuit K he checks to me bet/check.

I like your line pf, and I think I would call the smallish check/raise since you are in position, alot of hands he does this with you are beating, and I never trust anyone with blonde hair st the poker table (whether or not confirmed to be european).

After he checks the turn it definitely smells like he is trying to check/raise you again, I'd check behind and likely fold to most bets over 2-2.5k on river unless black 7 falls, in which case I would flat. If he does in fact have something like Ah7h, yes you are giving him free draw but you are holding 2 of his outs and this early I think you need to control the pot size.

Also, in the WSOP Main event there is so much dead money, I think you really need to be trying to make 5 card hands when you are in big pots.

This is rapidly becoming a real head [censored] of a hand. What are the chances that checking behind is about to give this guy a free look on a flushdraw with maybe the 7 of hearts in his hand aswell?

On the flip side, does he fold any hand that is currently beating us if we jam?

IMO, the potsize has become too awkward in relation to our stack for a bet fold.

Go all - in.

I like the 3bet push the flop he seems to be trying to bluff you off the hand with your messed up image. As played I check turn and hope for a blank card on the river and call a small bet.

Pretty easy check back on the turn, IMHO.

noah doesn't his turn check represent he doesn't have straight/set and is more likely on 1pair/draw himself?

Maybe this is just me being out of touch with how the WSOP plays, but I don't think we can be that confident in his range here.

It's only a small mistake if you check back and he had 67/77 or whatever. It's a big mistake if you bet and he has a sett.

If hero has been splashy and loose why would people be playing back at him on connected flops like this with the draw out there? I figure they have to have a really strong hand in this instance if they don't expect him to just meekly fold to resistance.

Flop is a fold, IMO...even given image (which I think makes it an even easier fold).

i'd fold in this spot... i think he made it 2500 to try and induce you to come OTT knowing you were tilted, i'd like to believe he has a set here
