77s Trips on board from SB
 

I now remember why I hate posting hands, it takes forever to find them. In any case I thought this hand was semi interesting. Villian was a newbie to the 77's and he had done nothing memorable, VPIP slightly over 30% in 20 or so hands. Comments on all streets welcomed. Have at it.

Who knows, there's rarely a clear line in the BvB battles. I'd probably bet the flop and be done with it after that, because so many donks will call with almost anything in the BB but will muck it if they whiff. Otherwise, I'm not real thrilled with the river bluff cause I don't really feel like he'd call with total air on the turn, but if it worked, then well done.
