If I check 77 on the turn and he checks behind, no way I fire at a blank river.

the board is T83Qx with a flush draw on the flop and you didnt cap preflop so he doesnt think you can have AK. so what is he hoping for on the river by betting 77? that you call AJ? 66?

geormiet,

Do you think he would call with AJ here?

Can he have something like A9s? Would he call with it?

If you think he would pay off with those hands I think you have a clear value bet. Yes, its pretty thin, but if he is indeed quite solid there are not many hands he can have here.

FWIW, I think a solid player should be check/folding AJ here if he knows you are solid.

I think he'd call with AJ but I'm not sure. A9 i'm almost sure he'd fold. Not that the hand strength is any different, but that's how people play.

ok... it all depends on how likely he is to call with AJ. If he's not likely to call with it I'd probably check because the chance he either has a scared pocket pair or is going for a checkraise outweighs the chance he'll pay you off with worse. If he'll cal with AJ a lot def bet. I love these spots!

BTW A9 or A9s is not in his range after the pf action.

I would check this river. The only hand that you beat that calls is AJ, right?

That was exactly what went through my mind in the hand. So I checked, and he had AJ. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
