77 on a 754,8,x board, when do you stop raising and start calling?
Pokerstars, $3 $6
Raised pre flop and I call in mid position with 77. Flop top set 777 on a 754 board with 2 flush out, 5 handed. Bet, call, raise, and re-raise infront of me and I cap, 4 to the turn as initial bettor folds. Pot is gigantic already for these stakes. Turn is 8 for a 8754 board, and it gets checked then bet to me. I hate raising here as it seems a 6 is such a big part of their range and I'm liable to get re-raised. I call and we go to the river 3 handed. River is a K with no possible flush. First player checks, next guy bets. Do I raise here or just call? Should I be raising the turn? Will post results later if any interest. |

NOT raising this turn is pretty bad. You've got tons of equity here and have to charge the flush draws. Getting re-raised is OK 'cause you've still got your boat outs. I am curious: why would you not raise the turn, then consider raising the river if you're worried about the made straight? |

agreed. my instinct was to raise the turn and I should have.
