Re: Losing my nerve with a chip lead?
Theres not a huge need to bet almost pot on this flop, but you do have some straight drawage out there, so your size may be slightly too large, but its acceptable. If QT is the worst hand he makes this with I think a fold is ok, we are an underdog at 43/56 against a QT, so a fold here is perfectly acceptable in my book. I sure dont call. I dont mind the bluff at the pot, it wins a decent percentage, but in order to be a higher percentage play we can bet third pot or something here. If its me, I probably check this flop.
I think its played ok. Yes we can limp at these stack sizes if the table accepts limping. We almost have odds to set mine, and we can flop other things as well, like an overpair, or a straight or flush draw.
Personally I think you can raise 2.5xbb for value, and fold to a push with 77. Stealing the blinds here is perfect, and if we are called we wont be bluffing on boards that are all overs to our 7s.
