Default Re: 2/4 B&M - flopped set pedal to the metal

If I were in the game, I'd be raising. But here away from the table with plenty of time to review all the action, it's quite possible you are beat. Not necessarily probable, but possible. If I were at the table I would put them on 45 of clubs and raise, raise, raise.

With 20/20 hindsight I'm thinking 2-7 or 3-7 so just call, praying A-7. The flop bet screams top 2 or at least one 7. The question is did they hit trips or the superior boat?

Wait, SB called and did not cap on the flop. A-7 or 4-5. Raise. 7-6 possible the 6 could have two-paired him. I like to raise with most 2-hole-card boats in limit poker, flame away if you want, but they win often. There's just so few hands that beat you and his action only fits one or two of them.

Going for an overcall is an idea but if you are confident enough to be saying "I want that one extra caller's dead money" you should want the extra action from SB even more. If you had more players behind you, calling for overcalls might be better.
